\n\tIn a touching post<\/a> on Instagram on Tuesday (Aug. 19), DeBose wrote: \u201cAt 10:28 am on August 17th my gorgeous, hilarious, outspoken, warrior queen Mother \u2013 Gina Michelle DeBose \u2013 passed away due to complications with stage 3 ovarian cancer. I couldn\u2019t be more proud of her and how she fought this insidious disease over the past 3 years. She was 57 years young.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cShe was my favorite person, my biggest fan and toughest critic. My best friend. She was my date to every important moment in my professional and personal life \u2013 and I wouldn\u2019t have it any other way. It had always been the two of us for as long as I can remember. Through lean times, and there were many of those & green times. She fought like hell to give me a good life, a good education and every opportunity in the world. I wouldn\u2019t be where I am without her. I meant it when I said my Oscar \u201cis just as much hers as it is mine.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tDeBose did just say that when she won an Oscar for best supporting actress in 2022 for her role as Anita in Steven Spielberg<\/a>\u2019s reboot of West Side Story<\/em>. \u201cI\u2019m gonna wrap this up and talk about my family. My mother, who is here tonight. Mama, I love you with my whole heart, and this is as much yours as it is mine.\u201d<\/p>\n
