Jenna Ortega pens heartfelt tribute for late costar Catherine O'Hara

Jenna Ortega is mourning the loss of her late Beetlejuice Beetlejuice co-star, Catherine O'Hara.

The actress took to her Instagram account on Sunday, February 1, to hail the late Home Alone actress, who died on Friday at the age of 71.

The Wednesday actress noted that she will "forever cherish" the moments they spent on the set of their 2024 film.

Jenna wrote, "Catherine is one of the most beautiful people I've ever had the honor of getting to work with and know."

She went on to write, "I'll forever cherish the time we shared together, and everything she taught me."

"A giant, an inspiration in many ways. One of the greats. Thank you so much for it all," Jenna added, along with some throwback snaps of the late star.

Catherine, who famously played the role of Macaulay Culkin's mother in the first two Home Alone movies, died at her residence in Los Angeles, following "a brief illness."

Macaulay also paid a poignant tribute to his onscreen mother after her death. He wrote, "Mama/ I thought we had time/ I wanted more/ I wanted to sit in a chair next to you/ I heard you/ But I had so much more to say/ I love you."

"I'll see you later."
