Mariah Carey and her loved ones are in mourning. The artist announced in a statement that her mother, Patricia, has passed away. The star's sister, Alison, died on the same day. "I appreciate everyone's love and support and respect for my privacy during this impossible time."

Mariah Carey and her loved ones have recently experienced a great tragedy. According to American media, including E! News, the star is in mourning after the death of her mother, Patricia. Moreover, on the same day, Mariah also lost her sister, Alison.

Carey conveyed the sad news through a statement sent to the media. On Monday, the star announced that two people close to her passed away last weekend. Mariah spent the recent days by her mother's side.

My heart is broken that I've lost my mother this past weekend. Sadly, in a tragic turn of events, my sister lost her life on the same day, she confessed, quoted by E! News. I feel blessed that I was able to spend the last week with my mom before she passed. I appreciate everyone’s love and support and respect for my privacy during this impossible time.

At the same time, the star thanked everyone for their support and appealed for privacy during this difficult time. The causes of her mother's and sister's deaths have not been disclosed yet. Years ago, Mariah mentioned in a book that their relationships were not always smooth.

Like many aspects of my life, my journey with my mother has been full of contradictions and competing realities, she described. It's never been only black-and-white - it's been a whole rainbow of emotion.

In the same publication, she also mentioned Alison, who had a difficult life. At just twenty-something, she was already divorced with a child to support, and her story included drugs and prostitution. For many years, they had no contact, and it is not clear if this changed before her death.
