Tragedy has struck Louis Tomlinson and his family.
As previously reported on The Hollywood Gossip, Tomlinson’s mother, Johannah Deakin, died on Wednesday after a battle with Leukemia.
She was only 42 years old at the time of her passing.
Following two days of private mourning, Tomlinson’s family released a statement that confirmed this horrible news.
It reads as follows:
“It is with immeasurable sadness that Johannah Deakin’s family said goodbye to Johannah in the early hours of Wednesday 7th December 2016.
“Earlier this year Johannah was diagnosed with a very aggressive form of leukemia that required immediate and continuous treatment. We respectfully request that the family are given time and space to grieve in private.”
Along with the beloved One Direction member, Deakin is survived by six other kids: Lottie, 18, Felicite, 16, twins Daisy and Phoebe, 12, and twins Ernest and Doris, 2.
Our hearts goes out to all of them.
And not just our heart, but the hearts of nearly everyone who knows Tomlinson well.
In the wake of this terrible development, many stars have reached out via social media and sent Tomlinson their condolences.
Here’s a look at what they said over Twitter, Instagram and other platforms:
Liam Payne: “I’m so sorry for you my brother my heart aches for you, just know I love you the same from a million miles away as I do right next to you. I’m always here for you through everything as you have been for me.”

Among other well wishes sent the singer’s way:
The most moving message of all, though, came from Tomlinson’s own sister, Félicité, who simply posted the image of a broken heart.
What else was there for her to even say, right?
Tomlinson will reportedly go through with his previously scheduled appearance on The X Factor on Saturday as his mother’s final wish.
We cannot imagine the pain he and his siblings are experiencing right now and we will continue to send them our thoughts and prayers.
