Catherine O’Hara, the Canadian actress best known for her roles in the “Home Alone” and “Beetlejuice” films, has passed away at the age of 71.

Her manager confirmed to U.S. media outlets on Friday evening (U.S. time) that the actress died at her home in Los Angeles after a “brief illness.”

O’Hara’s career was marked by her impressive portfolio, starring in several comedy shows, including the Emmy-winning sitcom “Schitt’s Creek” and the 1990s Christmas film “Home Alone,” where she played the mother of Macaulay Culkin’s character, Kevin.

The two maintained a close friendship after filming ended. In 2023, O’Hara honored Culkin at his Walk of Fame Ceremony.

“Macaulay, congratulations, you so deserve your star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. And thank you for including me, your fake mom, who left you home alone not once, but twice, to share this happy occasion. I’m so proud of you,” O’Hara said during her speech.

Apart from her comedic roles, O’Hara also dabbled in voice acting, lending her voice to animated features such as “The Nightmare Before Christmas” and “Chicken Little.”

Although the actress was born in Toronto, Canada, she became a beloved figure in Los Angeles, even being named an honorary mayor of Brentwood in 2021.

O’Hara is survived by her husband and production designer, Bo Welch, and two sons, along with her siblings.
