Kate Beckinsale is finding heartfelt ways to spread happiness amid her mother’s cancer diagnosis.

Her caption explained that when Loe, now 78, was 14 years old, she had been “in a harmony group with her best friends” Mary, Sylvia and Chris.

“Mary unfortunately is no longer with us but up until very recently even though they are in their now late 70s they would get together and still absolutely kill it,” Beckinsale wrote, adding, “I am a very poor substitute not being a very good singer but I want my mum's dearest and oldest friends in her hospital room with her.”

“So Fuz and Chris, please know I'm trying to keep the Four Teens going as best as I can from a distance and I love you both and how much support and love you are sending,” the Jolt actress continued.

Beckinsale called it “a mark of my mother's extraordinary capacity for love and deep respect for relationship history that her friendships with her early school friends are still so very current.”

“Love you all but most especially my mum. X and apologise to anybody in the hospital subject to my dreadful singing,” she concluded.

In July 2024, Beckinsale said Loe, who did not appear on-camera in the video, had been diagnosed with stage 4 cancer.

Her father Richard Beckinsale died of a heart attack at the age of 31 in 1979, and her stepfather Roy Battersby died in January 2024 at 87 following a "a brief period of illness."

After taking a break from social media, the movie star explained what brought her back in late February.

“I wasn’t going to come back to Instagram,” she wrote in the caption at the time, “but anyone who has a spare prayer or magic or miracle or sunbeam please send it to my mama, my most extraordinary, warrior, generous, humble, loving, unique, irreplaceable Mama,” she wrote.
