Mariah Carey announced on Monday that she experienced the loss of both her mother, Patricia, and her sister, Alison, on the same day.

The Grammy-winning singer expressed her sorrow in a statement, saying, “My heart is broken that I lost my mother this past weekend. Tragically, my sister also passed away on the same day.”

She continued, “I feel fortunate to have spent the last week with my mom before her passing. I am grateful for the outpouring of love and support, and I kindly ask for privacy during this incredibly difficult time.”

According to the Times Union, Alison, who had been mostly estranged from Carey, passed away at 63 due to complications related to her organ function while in hospice care.

At this time, we want to respect Mariah Carey’s need for privacy as she grieves these two horrific tragedies, and we send our heartfelt prayers to her and her family.
