Macaulay Culkin has reacted to the sudden death of his Home Alone co-star Catherine O’Hara, expressing deep grief and regret that he will not see her again in this life.
The actor, who starred alongside O’Hara in the two original Home Alone films, took to Instagram on Friday to share a personal tribute. O’Hara famously played his on-screen mother in the Christmas classics.

Culkin posted two images, one from the final scene of the original Home Alone and another taken years later, recreated from the same angle. Alongside the photos, Macaulay Culkin wrote:
“Mama. I thought we had time. I wanted more. I wanted to sit in a chair next to you. I heard you. But I had so much more to say. I love you. I’ll see you later.”

Catherine O’Hara died on Friday, January 30, in Los Angeles at the age of 71. While the official cause of death has not been disclosed, reports indicate that she suffered a medical emergency at her home and was rushed to hospital hours before she passed away.
O’Hara’s death has prompted an outpouring of tributes from fans and colleagues alike, with Culkin’s message standing out for its deeply personal tone and emotional farewell to the woman who portrayed one of the most iconic mothers in film history.
