Emotional Nicole Kidman breaks down in tears on the red carpet after her mother's death

Nicole Kidman became emotional as she reflected on her mother's recent death during the season 2 premiere of Lioness on Wednesday night.

“It was hard,” she told the Hollywood Reporter on the red carpet in Los Angeles. “It's a hard road. I’m holding on.”

Kidman's mother, Janelle Ann Kidman, died last month at age 84.

The Oscar-winning actress, 57, reportedly had tears in her eyes as she reflected on the incredibly fruitful period of her career and coping with her mother's absence.

“I wish my mom was here,” she told THR. “That would be the only thing I would say. Everything is going great at work, but I wish my mom was here.”

Nicole learned of her mother's death shortly after she arrived at the 2024 Venice Film Festival, where she was scheduled to accept the best actress award for her work on “Babygirl.”

Instead, the thriller film's director, Halina Reijn, accepted the award on her behalf while simultaneously announcing the death of Nicole's mother.

“I am in shock and have to go to my family, but this award is for them,” Nicole wrote in a statement read by Reijn.

“She shaped me, she guided me and she created me. I am extremely grateful that Halina allows me to tell you all her name.”

“The collision of life and art is heartbreaking and my heart is broken.”

On September 13, Nicole and her sister Antonia thanked fans for their “outpouring of love and kindness” as they mourned their loss.

“Every message we received from those who loved and admired our mother meant more to us than we could ever express,” they wrote on Instagram.

Keith Urban updated fans on his wife's handling of her mother's death in late September, telling the Times that she was “doing well.”

While she grieved, Nicole's thriller film “The Perfect Couple” shot to No. 1 on Netflix after debuting on September 5, according to THR.

Her first appearance after Janelle's death was at the Balenciaga show at Paris Fashion Week on September 30th.

She is now gearing up to film Amazon Studios' Scarpetta alongside Jamie Lee Curtis and Ariana DeBose.

The project is believed to be scheduled for two seasons of eight episodes each, according to Deadline.
