“If somebody in your life, whether you’re in touch with them or not, [is] suffering for any reason, it’s involuntary that you want to convey condolences or sadness or just let someone know you’re thinking about them,” Paker, 52, told Entertainment Tonight on Thursday, February 8.

Speaking with Extra, the Divorce star added, “I can’t begin to know how her family is managing such a loss. We all send her our love and condolences and grant her the privacy that she’s asked for.”

It is with great sadness that myself and my family announce the unexpected passing of our son and brother, Chris Cattrall. At this time we ask for privacy but we want to thank you all on social media for your outpouring of love and support in this trying time.

There has been some bad blood with the Sex and the City cast over Cattrall’s decision not to return for a third movie based on the HBO series, which aired from 1998 to 2004. Putting their differences aside, some of the 61-year-old actress’ former costars reached out with messages of support after her brother was found dead on his rural property in Blackfalds, Alberta, Canada, on Sunday, February 4.
