Jamie Lee Curtis is remembering her sister, Kelly Curtis, whom she called her "first friend and lifelong confidant," in a heartfelt tribute following her death.
In an Instagram post shared Saturday, Jamie Lee Curtis announced that her older sister had died earlier that day. She was 69.
"She passed away this morning. In her home. In nature. At peace," Jamie Lee Curtis wrote alongside a throwback photo of her sister.
"She was my first friend and lifelong confidant," the Oscar winner continued. "She was jaw droppingly beautiful, and a talented actress. She played a mean game of hearts, collected turtles, loved her family, nature, music, thrifting, travel, Facebook, and Pokémon Go."
The post continued, "She was proud of her Danish roots and Hungarian Jewish ancestry and was a devoted American patriot. She will be remembered for her loving generosity, fierce opinions, endless curiosity, unique style, and her powdered, almond, crescent cookies at Christmas, hence her name, Auntie Cookie."
Jamie Lee Curtis also reflected on a phrase her sister often used, writing, "Kelly always signed off any message or fare thee well with a Hungarian blessing...'Isten Veled, God is with you.'"
She concluded the tribute, writing, "Isten Veled to my sister of the sun and the moon, my Tai. I'll see you on down the line."
