Sharon Stone has announced the tragic death of her 11 month old nephew River after he was found with "total organ failure" in his crib last week.
Taking to Instagram on Monday, the actress, 63, shared a heartbreaking video of River which had Eric Clapton's Tears In Heaven playing on it.
Sharon captioned it with: "River William Stone Sept. 8, 2020 – Aug. 30, 2021."
The star was inundated with messages of condolences after the heartbreaking news with Selma Blair writing: "I am so sorry. My lord."
Billy Porter penned: "So sorry for your loss. Sending you all the love and peace that’s possible."
While Andie Macdowell added: "I'm so sorry lord," followed by crying emojis.
Last week, Sharon had asked her fans to pray for her nephew after he was found with total organ failure in his crib.
The star had posted to Instagram early Friday morning as she asked for a “miracle” to help her 11 month old nephew, River.
Sharing a photo of River in bed, she captioned: “My nephew and godson River Stone was found in his crib total organ failure today.
“Please pray for him. We need a miracle.”
Her comments were quickly flooded with support from fans, friends and celebrities who all wished River well.
River was born in September of 2020 to Sharon’s brother Patrick, with Sharon introducing fans to her nephew via Instagram a short time after his birth with a photo of the newborn.
She captioned at the time: “Look who’s going home: River William Stone, my brother Patrick and his wife Tasha’s new baby.”
Sharon is mother to three sons herself, 21 year old Roan, 16 year old Laird and 15 year old Quinn.
