US:Jamie Lee Curtis mourning the death of sister Kelly

Jamie Lee Curtis has announced the death of her sister Kelly Lee Curtis, her "first friend and lifelong confidant".

The 67-year-old actress posted a tribute on Instagram to Kelly, who died on Saturday aged 69.

"A warm aloha to my older sister, Kelly Lee Curtis. She passed away this morning. In her home. In nature. At peace.

"She was my first friend and lifelong confidant. She was jaw droppingly beautiful, and a talented actress. She played a mean game of hearts, collected turtles, loved her family, nature, music, thrifting, travel, Facebook, and Pokémon Go. She was proud of her Danish roots and Hungarian Jewish ancestry and was a devoted American patriot," she wrote.

"She will be remembered for her loving generosity, fierce opinions, endless curiosity, unique style, and her powdered, almond, crescent cookies at Christmas, hence her name, Auntie Cookie.
