Laura Dern 'I'VE LOST MY HERO'

Pals are rallying around Laura Dern following the death of her actress mother and closest confidant, Diane Ladd. Diane, a three-time Oscar nominated star, passed away at her California home on November 3, a few weeks shy of her 90th birthday. Laura was by her side. The lung disease idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis was the cause of death.

"She was the greatest daughter, mother, grandmother, actress, artist and empathetic spirit that only dreams could have seemingly created," the Big Little Lies star, 58, continued.
