<\/p>\n

Jamie Lee Curtis and Kelly Curtis – May 2009 – Famous – Los Angeles<\/p>\n

The actress, 67, revealed on Saturday (30.05.26) her older sibling Kelly Lee Curtis had passed away peacefully at the age of 69, with the star hailing her as her best friend and confidante. <\/p>\n

She returned to the social media site to share an update on Tuesday (02.06.26), as she posted pictures of herself and her sister from a trip they took together in 2012 to \u201ctrace our family\u2019s roots\u201d. <\/p>\n

She wrote in the caption: \u201cWe started out in Hungary, in Budapest, where Tony Curtis<\/a>‘ family Schwartz was from, a small town, M\u00e1t\u00e9szalka near Budapest.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe also went to Denmark and the island of Bornholm where our mother, Janet Leigh<\/a>‘s family, Kofoed was from.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nJamie added that the journey became more than just \u201ca once in a lifetime trip\u201d, as she added: \u201cIf you have a sibling, I recommend taking at least one trip, just the two of you, to trace a little bit of your family history.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cIt will be a lasting and permanent and important memory. It is for me and is helping me in these days of grief and mourning.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nJamie also shared four photos of herself and Kelly in front of a \u2018tree of life\u2019 memorial in Budapest. <\/p>\n

\nShe continued: \u201cIn Budapest we visited the Doh\u00e1ny Street Synagogue. In the 90’s my sister joined my father and a group of Hungarian Jews to help raise money for the restoration of this gorgeous synagogue after the war. <\/p>\n

\n\u201cIt’s a magnificent building with incredible history and there’s a tree of life in this courtyard and each leaf has the name placed in memory of someone lost during the holocaust.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nThe final photo in the sequence showed three plaques, which had been laid by Deborah Oppenheimer as a tribute to the Curtis and Schwartz families. <\/p>\n

\nJamie added she was \u201cso moved when\u201d she saw them. <\/p>\n

\nLike Jamie, Kelly was also an actress, and landed roles in 1987\u2019s Magic Sticks, as well as The Devil\u2019s Daughter, released in 1991. At the time of her death, she was married to filmmaker John Marsh.<\/p>\n
