Kelly, who took her last breath on May 30, had been in hospice care for the week prior to her death.

For those unversed, Jamie announced the death of her sister on social media.

"A warm aloha to my older sister, Kelly Lee Curtis. She passed away this morning. In her home. In nature. At peace,” she wrote while sharing a black-and-white photo of Kelly.

“She was my first friend and lifelong confidant," continued Kelly. "She was jaw-droppingly beautiful and a talented actress."

"She played a mean game of hearts; collected turtles; and loved her family, nature, music, thrifting, travel, Facebook, and Pokémon Go," added the actress. "She was proud of her Danish roots and Hungarian Jewish ancestry and was a devoted American patriot.”

In the caption, Jamie shared that 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," she wrote. "Kelly always signed off any message or farewell with a Hungarian blessing."

"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," Jamie concluded.
