“My sister and I were close as children but also had that sibling competition for divorced parent’s attention and love and we were wildly different and lived apart for many years, but she came back to be with me at my wedding and never really left again,” she added.

The Oscar winner, 67, said her sister Kelly worked for her at one point when she was “in between jobs” and became part of Jame Lee’s “family structure.”

“I miss her today but am buoyed by the knowledge that she is at peace,” she concluded.

Several celebrities took to the comments sections to send love to Jamie during this difficult time for her family.
