Real Housewives of Beverly Hills fans are rallying their support around star Lisa Rinna following the death of her mother, Lois. Lois passed away Monday morning at the age of 93 after suffering a stroke, the RHOBH star’s daughter Amelia Gray Hamlin announced on Monday in a post remembering her grandmother as “my best friend. My strength. My rock. My everything” and “the strength our family needed.” Rinna, who commented on her daughter’s post, “Heaven has a new angel,” later confirmed her mother’s passing on her own account, writing, “Lois DeAndrade Rinna June 7, 1928 – November 15, 2021 5:05am. Heaven Has a New Angel.”
Lois’ passing came just a week after Rinna shared with fans that her mother was “transitioning” after suffering a stroke. In an early November post, the Bravo star shared “very sad” news with her followers, revealing that her mother “had a stroke.” Rinna shared that she was with her mother at the time and encouraged her followers to “celebrate her and send her so much love while she transitions.”
