This year, the actor’s sister passed away at the age of 36.
This year for the Jamie Foxx family turned out to be difficult not only because of the global pandemic, but also because of the death of a loved one. In October, it became known that the 36-year-old sister of actor Diondra Dixon had passed away. The cause of death of the woman born with Down syndrome has not been reported. Jamie was very kind to his sister and often took her with him to events.
Fox found consolation in this difficult period in the family. The other day, he posted on Instagram a touching post with words of gratitude addressed to his sister Deirdre. According to him, the girl courageously supported all her relatives in difficult moments, although she herself went through emotional trials.
“I watched her grow up taking care of our family. The pain was excruciating to all of us. But she held us together with her love and wisdom. When I say that I love her to the moon and back, it’s not enough. I have tears in my eyes, ”the artist described his emotions.
Deirdre Dixon works as a hairdresser and stylist and has worked on the site of many Hollywood films. So, she helped create images for films with her brother’s participation, for example, in “Baby on a Drive” and “Django Unchained.”
Jamie’s daughter Corinne Fox also commented on the post. “The best aunt in the world,” she wrote, adding a heart-shaped emoticon.
