Catherine O'Hara's family is planning a "private celebration of life".

The Home Alone star passed away on Friday (30.01.26), at the age of 71, following a "brief illness," and an obituary shared with Just Jared has revealed her family, which includes her husband Bo Welch and their sons, Matthew and Luke, will host a memorial in private.

It said: "A private celebration of life will be held by the family."

Her on-screen son in Home Alone, Macaulay Culkin, paid a heartfelt tribute to Catherine.

The 45-year-old actor posted two throwback photos of himself and Catherine and wrote on Instagram: "Mama.
