Jamie Lee Curtis shared an emotional post on Instagram on Saturday, May 30, announcing that her older sister, Kelly Curtis, has died at the age of 69.
Curtis added that Kelly passed away "in her home. In nature. At peace."
"She was my first friend and lifelong confidant," the actress began. "She was jaw-droppingly beautiful, and a talented actress. She played a mean game of hearts, collected turtles, loved her family, nature, music, thrifting, travel, Facebook, and Pokémon Go. She was proud of her Danish roots and Hungarian Jewish ancestry and was a devoted American patriot."
"She will be remembered for her loving generosity, fierce opinions, endless curiosity, unique style, and her powdered, almond, crescent cookies at Christmas, hence her name, Auntie Cookie," Curtis added.
She concluded the post with a Hungarian blessing that Kelly often signed off her messages with.
