Marcheline Bertrand, mother of Angelina Jolie, died on Saturday at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, Jolie said in a statement to the Associated Press.
"Angelina came to visit her two weekends ago and spent the afternoon with her in her room," a source at Beverly Hills' Raffles L'Ermitage hotel, where Bertrand kept a residence, told Us Weekly.
Jolie’s mom battled cancer for over seven-and-a-half years and was surrounded by her children, Angelina and son James Haven, as well as Brad Pitt at time of death.
When granddaughter Shiloh was born in May, Bertrand said: "My heart is overflowing with joy with the new arrival of Brad and Angelina's third child. Maddox, Zahara and Shiloh are deeply loved children. They have very kind and caring parents who love and support each other in every way."
A private funeral is planned, and the family requests that instead of flowers or gifts, donations be made to the Women's Cancer Research Institute at Cedars-Sinai.
