Brad Pitt has suffered a loss in the family.
The “Fight Club” star’s mother, Jane Etta Pitt, has died, according to an Instagram post by the actor’s niece, Sydney Pitt. She honored “my sweet Grammy” in the social media tribute on Wednesday, Aug. 6.
USA TODAY has reached out to representatives for Brad Pitt.
“We were not ready for you to go yet but knowing you are finally free to sing, dance, and paint again makes it a tad easier,” she wrote. “If you knew Grammy, you knew she had the biggest heart. She cared deeply for everyone and everything, no questions asked.”
Pitt also reflected on how there “was no limit to the love she gave, and everyone who met her felt it,” adding, “I don’t know how we move forward without her. But I know she’s still here in every brushstroke, every kind gesture, every hummingbird. She was love in its purest form.”

In June, Brad Pitt gave a sweet shoutout to his mom on the “Today” show while promoting his movie “F1.” “I’ve got to say hi to my mom because she watches you every morning,” the actor said during an appearance with “Today” host Savannah Guthrie. “To Jane Pitt! Love you mom.” Pitt also gave his mother a wave and blew her a kiss.
