Naomi Watts Mourns 'Massive' Family Loss
Sad news for Naomi Watts: The 55-year-old actress is mourning the loss of her 99-year-old grandmother, Nikki Roberts.
Watts announced the passing of her "Nanna" in an Instagram post on Aug. 29, sharing a carousel of photos featuring four generations of her family with their beloved matriarch.
"My darling Nanna has left this world but her spirit will never leave us," the Mulholland Drive star wrote in her caption.
"I'm truly blessed to have had the most wonderful relationship with her. She is such a huge part of who I am: her core values, her work ethic, and her mischievous humor and joy of life. I cannot express how deeply grateful I am for all that she gave me and her wonderful daughters. My mum and aunts are all in pieces today, but we know what a great life she had. She just kept cracking on because she loved her life and her family. She lived 3 more weeks after a massive stroke because, in full beast mode, she showed us that when she was finally ready to 'peg it- she'd peg it'. She had one more goal to meet. Her 99th birthday!! One more party. One more family gathering. I'll never forget her wicked laugh, her feisty spirit, her no-nonsense attitude, her no waste policy!! She'd be trimming the mold off the bread and cheese: 'you don't need an expiration date— that's what a nose is for!' 😂."
