Priscilla Murray, the mother of Tyrese Gibson, has passed away after battling COVID-19 and pneumonia.
Monday on Instagram, the “Fast & Furious” actor revealed the devastating news while posting a video of him caressing his mother’s hand.
“On behalf of my family and everyone who ever spent anytime praying [for] my mother. This is the saddest moment of my life………. My sweet Valentine just passed away….. May the lord Jesus Christ and his angels open the doors of heavens and embrace her………. We as a family are broken and just can’t believe this,” he wrote.
“May the lord Jesus Christ honor your walk with him and embrace you into the heavens……. From here on I ask that you HOLD MY HAND MOTHER and never let my hand go………. Like you held my hand as a child and a teen never let my hand go mother.”

Earlier this month, the singer said he got word about his mother’s health while filming a new movie.
“In the middle of filming and just got the worst phone call I’ve ever gotten… I just had to ask the director let me pause for a second close my eyes and pray…. My mother is in a coma, in ICU, with Pneumonia and she caught Covid. They got her so sedated she can’t breathe or even eat on her own,” he said.
