ACTRESS Aubrey Plaza has given her first statement since the tragic death of her husband Jeff Baena at age 47.
Screenwriter and director Baena – who married the White Lotus star in 2021 – was found dead at their Los Angeles home on Friday.
Marking her first public comment on the sudden tragedy, a rep for the actress told the DailyMail: “This is an unimaginable tragedy. We are deeply grateful to everyone who has offered support. Please respect our privacy during this time.”
Baena’s body was found by an assistant at the property, which the couple bought together in 2022, at 10.25am.
He was pronounced dead at the scene.
The U.S. Sun obtained the LA County Fire Department’s radio call which states it dispatched a unit “to a hanging” at the address in Los Feliz.
Los Angeles Police Department told The U.S. Sun: “We responded to a death Investigation and the case is being handled by the Coroner’s Office.”
The LA County Medical Examiner’s Office confirmed the screenwriter died by hanging.
Plaza’s statement came after she was forced to ditch her debut hosting role in the Golden Globes ceremony.
She was scheduled to help host the annual event but didn’t appear due to the sudden death of her long-time husband.
The acting world has spent the last few days mourning Baena who had impressed Hollywood with several well-liked films.
Award-winning director Brady Corbet made a touching statement in support of Baena’s loved ones after he took his own life on Friday aged just 47.
He was on stage receiving his award for Best Director for the film Brutalist when he said: “Finally, tonight my heart is with Aubrey Plaza and Jeff’s family – good night.”
The cameras then panned to Brutalist leading man Adrien Brody who was holding back tears.
