Mariah Carey has opened up about the recent loss of two family members.

“I am heartbroken to share that I lost my mother over the weekend. Tragically, my sister also passed on the same day,” the Grammy-winning artist conveyed in a statement to YSL News on Monday. “I am grateful that I could spend the final week with my mom before her passing.”

“Thank you to everyone for your love, support, and understanding of my need for privacy during this incredibly difficult time,” she added.

Details surrounding their deaths were not disclosed. People was the first to report this story.

In her 2020 memoir, “The Meaning of Mariah Carey,” Carey has previously discussed her complicated familial relationships.

Carey maintained a distant relationship with her father, Alfred Roy Carey, who succumbed to cancer in 2002 at the age of 72. She was raised by her mother Patricia Carey, along with siblings Morgan and Alison.

In her memoir, Carey described Morgan as a disruptive presence during both her childhood and adulthood. She noted, “When my brother was around, it was common to see holes punched in walls or other items being thrown,” she recounted.

Carey also mentioned that her emotionally unavailable mother could not provide the care she needed, and recalled an incident where sister Alison threw boiling tea at her. Nevertheless, the “All I Want for Christmas is You” artist dedicated her memoir to her mother, writing: “And to Pat, my mother, who did the best she could through it all. I will always love you as best as I can.”

Last year, Carey concluded her long-term relationship with Bryan Tanaka, which lasted nearly a decade. Earlier this year, she began her third Las Vegas residency titled “Mariah Carey: The Celebration of Mimi Live in Las Vegas,” which started in April and will run through February 2025.

This winter, Carey will also kick off her Christmas Time tour, marking the 30th anniversary of her beloved holiday album, “Merry Christmas.”
