Condolences go out to Mariah Carey<\/strong>, who has just lost two close family members.<\/p>\n

The superstar singer revealed in a statement to ABC News, “My heart is broken that I\u2019ve lost my mother this past weekend. Sadly, in a tragic turn of events, my sister [Alison<\/strong>] lost her life on the same day.”<\/p>\n

“I feel blessed that I was able to spend the last week with my mom before she passed,” she continued. “I appreciate everyone\u2019s love and support and respect for my privacy during this impossible time.”<\/p>\n

She didn’t offer any details regarding the cause of death.<\/p>\n

Mariah’s mother, Patricia<\/strong>, a trained opera singer and vocal coach, divorced her father, Alfred Carey<\/strong>, when Mariah was 3. In the dedication section of her memoir,\u00a0The Meaning of Mariah Carey<\/em>, Mariah wrote, “And to Pat, my mother, who, through it all, I do believe actually did the best she could. I will love you the best I can, always.”<\/p>\n

Mariah’s relationship with her sister Alison was fraught. Alison sued<\/strong><\/a> Mariah for “public humiliation” in 2021 after Mariah wrote in her memoir that her sister had “drugged me with Valium, offered me a pinky nail full of cocaine, inflicted me with third-degree burns, and tried to sell me out to a pimp.”<\/p>\n
