“A warm aloha to my older sister, Kelly Lee Curtis. She passed away this morning. In her home. In nature. At peace,” the post read.

In a black-and-white photo of Kelly, Jamie wrote, “She was my first friend and lifelong confidant."

"She was jaw-droppingly beautiful and a talented actress." 

She continued, "She played a mean game of hearts; collected turtles; and loved her family, nature, music, thrifting, travel, Facebook, and Pokémon Go."

"She was proud of her Danish roots and Hungarian Jewish ancestry and was a devoted American patriot.”

In a touching tribute, the actress wrote her sister had several outstanding qualities.

“She will be remembered for her loving generosity, fierce opinions, endless curiosity, unique style, and her powdered almond crescent cookies at Christmas, hence her name, Auntie Cookie." 

"Kelly always signed off any message or farewell with a Hungarian blessing."

In the end, Jamie penned, "Isten Veled, God is with you. Isten Veled to my sister of the sun and the moon, my Tai. I’ll see you on down the line.”

It is unclear what is the cause of death of Kelly.
