On Sunday, Amber Heard shared on her Instagram that her mother, Paige Heard, 63, died.
The 34-year-old actress shared a throwback photo of her with her mom. She added a caption, saying that she is both heartbroken and devastated by the death of her mom. As she clasps onto the memory of her mom's beautiful and gentle soul, Heard said that her mom died young, and she will surely be missed from the bottom of their hearts.
The "Aquaman" actress added that Paige is the most beautiful woman she has ever known because of her unflinching, open heart. It was hard for the actress to imagine, and it gave her a hard time to say, but she felt fortunate to have been Paige's daughter. Heard also said that she is fortunate to receive the light her mom has shown on everyone and to her for 34 years.
Amber Heard also wrote that despite the unbelievably painful time that she is experiencing right now, she is reminded that love still survives in the people that Paige has left. She added that both she and her sister, Whit, appreciate the kindness, support, and generosity that they have received from friends and family.
The first photo that "Her Smell" actress shared was when she was in her younger years as she laid her head on Paige's shoulders, and the next photo from the series was a toddler photo of Heard being cradled by her mom with her dad in the background.
Amber Heard went against the state's conservative social codes then moved to New York City, where she pursued her modeling career. Later on, she went to Los Angeles and changed her career to the film industry.
On March 8, Heard posted a photo of her, her mom, Paige, and her sister, Whit, to celebrate International Women's Day. In 2018, she also shared a photo of Paige and David, both kissing her cheeks as she scrunched her face for the embarrassment that she felt during that time.
On May 13, 2019, the actress shared a photo with her mom's head resting on her shoulder, and she captioned the photo greeting her mom a "Happy Mother's Day" and extending to all the mamas out there. At the same time, Heard described her mom as the most beautiful, strong, patient, and loving woman that she knows. Heard thanked her mom for teaching her what it means to be a woman.
In December 2016, Paige sent a text message to Johnny Depp, saying that the recommendation of Heard's lawyers initiated the restraining order filed by her daughter against Depp. She also told the "Pirates of Caribbean" actor that she loves him despite her daughter's allegation against Depp of domestic violence.
Amber Heard grew up in Austin, Texas.
