Kate Beckinsale<\/strong><\/a> is hinting at the loss of her stepfather with an ominous Instagram post.<\/p>\n

The British actress, 50, posted a cryptic black square via Instagram on Thursday, January 11, two days after sharing photos of herself and family members gathered around a hospital bed with Beckinsale still in her Golden Globes<\/a> dress.<\/p>\n

The black square, which the Underworld<\/em> actress shared on Wednesday, January 10, wasn\u2019t accompanied by a caption, but many have taken the post to mean that her stepfather, Roy Battersby<\/strong>, had passed away.<\/p>\n

Following the January 7 awards ceremony, Beckinsale posted a series of photos from the event, with the hospital photos included at the end of the carousel. Many believe the patient to be Battersby, 87, though she has yet to publicly confirm.<\/p>\n

Fans have written their heartfelt condolences to Beckinsale and her family in the comments, many of which have been \u201cliked\u201d and \u201cpinned\u201d by Beckinsale\u2019s account. \u201cPlease accept my condolences,\u201d read one pinned comment. \u201cRoy was a gift to you, Jude and everyone who had the honor of knowing him. May he rest in eternal peace.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another fan wrote, \u201cI\u2019m so, so sorry. Roy was such a beautiful soul who I had the absolute pleasure of meeting and chatting with. It truly was a privilege to meet such a great man. Sending all my love to you all.\u201d<\/p>\n

Though Beckinsale has not shared the details behind the post-Golden Globes hospital visit, one comment on her post seems to indicate that her stepfather has been battling ongoing health issues. \u201cI don\u2019t know how you made it through last night with all that is going on,\u201d one follower commented on her Golden Globes post. \u201cYou are strong and a consummate pro. Having to leave the side of your beautiful Roy to honor this commitment at the Globes was above and beyond.\u201d<\/p>\n

Beckinsale replied to the comment saying, \u201cThank you and thank you for your supportive texts all the way through. That was so kind xx.\u201d<\/p>\n
