Two-time Emmy-winning actress Kirstie Alley has died following a short battle with cancer. She was 71.
An official statement from Alley’s children was shared on her social media accounts Monday.
“To all our friends, far and wide around the world… We are sad to inform you that our incredible, fierce and loving mother has passed away after a battle with cancer, only recently discovered,” reads the statement. “She was surrounded by her closest family and fought with great strength, leaving us with a certainty of her never-ending joy of living and whatever adventures lie ahead. As iconic as she was on screen, she was an even more amazing mother and grandmother.”
