Singer Mariah Carey is sharing news of two recent losses in her family.
"My heart is broken that I've lost my mother this past weekend. Sadly, in a tragic turn of events, my sister lost her life on the same day," the Grammy singer said in a statement shared with USA TODAY Monday. "I feel blessed that I was able to spend the last week with my mom before she passed."
"I appreciate everyone's love and support and respect for my privacy during this impossible time," she continued.
USA Today reports causes of death was not shared. People was first to report the news.
Carey has previously opened up about her complicated relationships with family members in her 2020 memoir, "The Meaning of Mariah Carey."
Carey was estranged from her father, Alfred Roy Carey, who died of cancer in 2002 at age 72. She grew up with her mother Patricia Carey and siblings Morgan and Alison.
Morgan proved a destructive force both in her childhood and adulthood, Mariah Carey wrote in her memoir. "When my brother was around, it was not uncommon for holes to be punched in walls or for other objects to go flying," she wrote.
