‘It’s up and down, you know. It comes in waves, but the outpouring [of support has] been amazing, so thank you, everybody, for that. We so appreciate it,’ Keith told host Hoda Kotb about grieving their loss; Nicole pictured with her mother in 2018

Kidman intended to attend the festival and accept the Volpi Cup award for best actress for her role in the erotic drama.

Her message, delivered by Reijn, read, ‘Today I arrived in Venice to find out shortly after, that my beautiful, brave mother Janelle Ann Kidman has just passed.’

Leaving the event early, Nicole explained via the note, ‘I am in shock and I have to go to my family, but this award is for her. She shaped me, she guided me and she made me.’

The Big Little Lies star added, ‘I am beyond grateful that I get to say her name to all of you through Halina, the collision of life and art is heartbreaking, and my heart is broken.’

She later took to Instagram to share a thank you note with her 10 million followers while sharing throwback photos.

‘My sister and I along with our family want to thank you for the outpouring of love and kindness we have felt this week,’ she wrote in a joint post with her sibling Antonia Kidman.

‘Every message we have received from those who loved and admired our Mother has meant more to us than we will ever be able to express.

‘Thank you from our whole family for respecting our privacy as we take care of each other ❤️,’ the caption ended.

Keith eventually performed on the morning show on Wednesday, October 30, and gave an update on how he and his wife are coping

Last week Nicole told the Hollywood Reporter that ‘it’s been hard’ facing her parent’s death.

She explained, ‘It’s a hard road. I’m hanging in there.’

Her busy schedule is said to have sparked concern among her inner circle, who fear she could suffer a ‘burnout’ from overloading herself with work.

‘Nicole is still looking as amazing as always but she’s been through so much, and she seems to be dealing with her grief by throwing herself into work,’ a source told Woman’s Day magazine.

‘There are times when she sleeps on a plane more than a bed. Everyone’s worried about her,’ the person added.
