Millie Bobby Brown has paid a heartbreaking tribute to her grandmother, who died following a battle with Alzheimer's disease. The 16-year-old 'Stranger Things' star shared the news on social media, describing the illness as 'evil' and 'cruel'.
In a lengthy post accompanied by a video of her hugging and kissing her grandmother, Brown wrote: 'There's no words that make sense right now. There's no feeling to pinpoint. Loss is something so complex... Alzheimer's is evil. It's cruel. Taking away someone's ability to remember memories and then how to function like a human being.'
The actress, who plays Eleven in the Netflix series, recalled fond memories of spending time at her grandmother's house in the UK, including eating porridge with honey, doing crossword puzzles, and listening to stories about living through World War Two. She expressed regret that due to the Covid-19 pandemic, she was unable to return home for 'one last snuggle' and instead communicated via FaceTime.
Brown concluded her tribute by saying her grandmother is 'truly my guardian angel' and that she would 'hug mummy and watch videos of us singing and dancing'. Her 'Stranger Things' co-star Noah Schnapp offered condolences, as did 'Breaking Bad' star Aaron Paul.
