Diane Ladd, the Oscar-nominated actress and mother to Laura Dern, has died. She was 89.
Dern announced the devastating news in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter. She revealed that her mom died in California on Monday, Nov. 3. No cause of death was given.
“My amazing hero and my profound gift of a mother, Diane Ladd, passed with me beside her this morning, at her home in Ojai, Ca.,” the “Jurassic Park” star, 58, shared.
“She was the greatest daughter, mother, grandmother, actress, artist and empathetic spirit that only dreams could have seemingly created,” Dern continued.
“We were blessed to have her,” the “Blue Velvet” actress concluded. “She is flying with her angels now.”
Ladd’s many movie and TV credits included the 1974 rom-com “Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore,” the 1990 black comedy “Wild at Heart” and 1991’s “Rambling Rose.”
She was nominated for three Oscars and three Emmys during her more than six-decade acting career.
