Cher appears to have confirmed the death of her mom, Georgia Holt, at 96. The icon left a message late in the night simply stating “Mom is gone” followed by a downcast emoji.

While there hasn’t been any further information revealed or confirmed, thousands of people have rushed to her comments to send her condolences, posting lovely images of the two together.

Previously, Cher had updated fans on her mom’s health, revealing in September this year that she had been in hospital. Cher’s tweets back then read, “Sorry I’ve been Mia.

Mom’s been sick off & on. She just got out of Hosp. She had Pneumonia. She’s getting better. ”Georgia Holt celebrated her 96th birthday in June this year, and fans have long suggested she has the same age-defying genetics of her superstar daughter.
