A sweet interaction with Catherine O'Hara has been shared following the Home Alone actress's death at the age of 71.
O'Hara was best known for several iconic roles, including as Kate McCallister in Home Alone - mother of Kevin McCallister (Macaulay Culkin) - as well as Moira Rose in Schitt's Creek, among many others.
News of her death was confirmed on Friday, when it was revealed that the 71-year-old had passed away following a short illness.
While the exact cause of her death has not been shared, the Los Angeles Fire Department tolf Page Six that they were called to her residence at 4:48AM local time before transporting her to the hospital in “serious” condition
Following her death, a heartwarming video has resurfaced in which O'Hara was asked which of her roles she hopes to be remembered for the most.
Showing humility when the person behind the camera told her that she was their "favorite actor ever", O'Hara's answer to their question left fans touched.
He asked her: "When all is said and done, which role would you most like to be remembered for?"
O'Hara responded that it would be: "Mother of my children."
The actress is mother to two sons - Matthew, 31, and Luke, 29 - whom she shared with her husband of 33 years, Bob Welch.
Fans were moved by her response, commenting: "The way she got so emotional when she said it", and: "She wasn’t only Kevin McCallister’s Mom we heard our Moms through her when she spoke, In The Memory of A Great Mom Catherine O’Hara."
Others added: "Immediately crying that was the sweetest answer," and: "Wow…the humility. Pure genuine heart."
Another commented: "So incredibly sad. Thank you for all you’ve given us over the years. Rest in power and peace. We will never forget you."
O'Hara's acting career spanned decades, earning her a place in the hearts of millions, but she was best known by many for her portrayal of the eccentric but loving mom, Kate McCallister, in the holiday classic Home Alone and its sequel, Home Alone 2: Lost In New York.
Her performance as the quick-witted and hilariously dramatic Moira Rose in Schitt's Creek garnered widespread acclaim, earning her multiple awards and solidifying her status as a beloved figure in both film and television.
She had recently been nominated for a Golden Globe, but opted to skip the ceremony, which took place on January 11.
Following her passing, Macaulay Culkin shared a tribute of his own on Instagram, sharing an uncannily similar side-by-side photo of him with O'Hara taken decades apart.
In the first shot, from Home Alone, O'Hara smiles at Culkin as a young child, while the second - taken at his recent Hollywood Walk of Fame star ceremony - shows the pair in the same positions, now with Culkin as an adult.
He wrote alongside it: "Mama. I thought we had time.
"I wanted more. I wanted to sit in a chair next to you. I heard you. But I had so much more to say.
"I love you. I’ll see you later."
Our thoughts remain with O'Hara's family, friends, and fans at this devastating time.
