Leah Remini revealed on Instagram that her estranged father died weeks ago, and she had no idea until recently.

In a series of throwback pictures with her father, George Anthony Remini, the actress revealed that her sister Nicole was “contacted by a stranger” about his death.

“We had no idea that he had died a month ago. We weren’t aware that he had been sick leading up to his death,” Leah wrote. “A funeral came and went and none of us knew anything about it. We were not able to say goodbye. He was not able to redeem himself, to ask for forgiveness for his failures and hurts, to become a better man to those of us who couldn’t help but love him.”

She added, “my father and I had a difficult relationship, but I always forgave him with a daughter’s painfully endless love and hope.”

Leah then detailed her rocky past with her dad, sharing that she had “hoped for him to acknowledge who he had been and what he had done to us as his children… Regardless of his neglect and abuse, I had hoped to one day have some closure.”

We’re so sorry for your loss, Leah.
