Nicole Kidman is feeling the love in the wake of her heartbreaking loss.
The 57-year-old took to Instagram to thank fans for their support in the wake of the death of her mother Janelle Ann Kidman.
“My sister and I along with our family want to thank you for the outpouring of love and kindness we have felt this week,” the Oscar winner wrote on Sept. 12. “Every message we have received from those who loved and admired our Mother has meant more to us than we will ever be able to express. Thank you from our whole family for respecting our privacy as we take care of each other.”
Nicole shared the statement with her sister Antonia Kidman in a joint post, sharing a series of throwback photos of their late mother.
The Big Little Lies star first shared the news that her mother had passed after abruptly leaving the Venice Film Festival in early September. At the time, she had Halina Rejn, who directed her in the film Babygirl, release a statement on her behalf, explaining her absence.
"Today, I arrived in Venice to find out shortly after, that my beautiful, brave mother Janelle Ann Kidman has just passed," Nicole's statement said. "I am in shock and I have to go to my family."
The statement continued, "But this award is for her. She shaped me, she guided me and she made me. I'm beyond grateful that I that I get to say her name to all of you through Halina. The collision of life and art is heartbreaking, and my heart is broken."
The cause of Janelle's death has not been made public.
In recent years, comma Janelle has faced a number of health issues. Nicole returned to her homeland of Australia in 2022, sharing with NPR at the time, "We're down here primarily to take care of my mother and to have her surrounded by her grandchildren."
