Kate Beckinsale is mourning the loss of her mom, Judy Loe.
Kate Beckinsale’s mother, Judy Loe, has passed away at age 78.
The actress, 51, revealed the news in a heartbreaking social media post on Thursday.
“I don’t want to post this. I am only posting this because I have had to register my mother‘s death certificate and it will soon become public record,” Beckinsale began. “She died the night of July 15th in my arms after immeasurable suffering. I have not picked all the best photos, nor the best videos, because I cannot bear to go through my camera roll yet.”
“I deeply apologise to any of her friends who are finding out this way or through the press, but I cannot go through her phone. I am paralysed,” the “Underworld” alum added.
Beckinsale went on to praise her mother and point out the late star’s best qualities.
“The vastness and huge heart of this tiny woman has touched so many people who love her dearly,” she continued. “She has been brave in so many ways, forgiving sometimes too much, believing in the ultimate good in people and the world is so dim without her that it is nearly impossible to bear.”
Beckinsale concluded her post with a touching message to her mother, penning, “Mama, I love you so much. This has been my greatest fear since finding my father dead at five and I am here. Oh my Mama. I’m sorry, I’m so sorry. I am so sorry.”
Her father, actor Richard Beckinsale, died of a heart attack in 1979. He was 31 years old.
“I remember confusing when John Lennon died and when my dad died because people were standing in the street with the evening paper sobbing on both occasions and I can’t remember which version of that is which because they were very similar,” Beckinsale told Howard Stern in 2021.
