Aquaman star Amber Heard is mourning the recent loss of her mother, Paige Heard.
Heard played the role of the water-bending Meera in James Wan‘s Aquaman, fighting alongside Jason Momoa‘s Arthur Curry to claim the throne of the underwater kingdom of Atlantis.
Sharing her grief on Instagram, the movie wrote that following words:
I am heartbroken and devastated beyond belief at the loss of my mom, Paige Heard. She left us too early, clasping unto the memory of her beautiful, gentle soul. She will be missed from the very depths of our hearts forever. Her unflinching, open heart made her the most beautiful woman I had ever known. It’s hard to imagine and even more difficult to say but I feel truly lucky to have been her daughter and been given the gift of having the light she shone on everybody, fall on me for nearly 34 years.
This has been an unbelievably painful time but in that I’m reminded of what survives us all, love. The kindness, support and generosity my sister Whit and I have received from friends and family has been utterly soul-saving.”
Amber Heard is an American actress and model who made her film debut in a minor supporting role in the sports drama Friday Night Lights (2004).
She has featured in other movies, including The Stepfather (2009), Drive Angry (2011), 3 Days To Kill (2014), Justice League (2017) and Aquaman (2018).
