She sent me this contact sheet today in condolence for the loss of my beautiful sister.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cMy sister and I were close as children but also had that sibling competition for divorced parent&#8217;s attention and love and we were wildly different and lived apart for many years, but she came back to be with me at my wedding and never really left again. <\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cShe worked for me at one point when she was in between jobs as my as-sister-aunt and became an integral part of my family structure. <\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cI miss her today but am buoyed by the knowledge that she is at peace.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n Jamie, whose career spans films including Halloween, A Fish Called Wanda, True Lies, Freaky Friday and the Oscar-winning Everything Everywhere All at Once, was referring in her post to her wedding to her husband Christopher Guest, now 78.<\/p>\n<p>\nJamie announced Kelly\u2019s death in a separate social media post by sharing a black-and-white image of her sister and captioning the image: \u201cA warm aloha to my older sister, Kelly Lee Curtis.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nThe A-lister added Kelly had died \u201cthis morning. In her home. In nature.
