<p>Kate Beckinsale is mourning the death of her mother, actress Judy Loe.</p>
<p>The Underworld star announced her mom's death in a social media post on Thursday. Loe was 78 and had endured a long battle with cancer.</p>
<p>"She died the night of July 15th in my arms after immeasurable suffering," Beckinsale wrote. "I have not picked all the best photos, nor the best videos, because I cannot bear to go through my camera roll yet. I deeply apologise to any of her friends who are finding out this way or through the press, but I cannot go through her phone. I am paralysed."</p>
<p>The actress expressed immense sorrow at having to share the news. "I don't want to post this," she wrote. "I am only posting this because I have had to register my mother's death certificate and it will soon become public record."</p>
<p>After studying English and drama at the University of Birmingham, Loe began her acting career as an original member of the British production of the rock musical Hair in 1970. She later appeared on the British TV shows Edward the Seventh, Goodnight and God Bless, Space Island One, and Casualty. She also acted on the British version of General Hospital, and had a small role in Monty Python's The Meaning of Life. Her final screen appearance came in a 2024 episode of the thriller series Fool Me Once.</p>
<p>Beckinsale reflected on her mother's influence in her Instagram post.</p>

<p>"Jude was the compass of my life, the love of my life, my dearest friend," she wrote. "The vastness and huge heart of this tiny woman has touched so many people who love her dearly. She has been brave in so many ways, forgiving sometimes too much, believing in the ultimate good in people, and the world is so dim without her that it is nearly impossible to bear ."</p>
<p>The Love & Friendship star had revealed her mother's stage 4 cancer diagnosis in comments of a now-deleted video she posted on July 8, 2024, PEOPLE reported.</p>

<p>Battersby, who helmed TV crime dramas including Between the Lines and A Touch of Frost, died in January 2024.</p>
<p>"I have no words yet," Beckinsale wrote on Instagram at the time. "I fought for you with everything I had. Oh Roy I am so sorry I lost."</p>
