Catherine O'Hara's Home Alone costar Macaulay Culkin spotted for first time since her shock death

Macaulay Culkin was spotted out in the Los Angeles area on Friday, shortly after news broke of his former Home Alone costar Catherine O’Hara’s death at age 71.

The 45-year-old former child star — who paid tribute to O’Hara on Instagram — appeared downcast as he stepped out solo.

He wore an orange sweater underneath a black sports coat, adding black trousers and matching loafers.

O’Hara passed away at her home in Los Angeles 'following a brief illness,' Daily Mail confirmed on Friday. Her cause of death has not been revealed.

She famously played Culkin's mother in the first two Home Alone films.

Amid the actress’s death, he took to Instagram to share two photos of them together, including a movie still and a more recent image taken on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

He captioned, 'Mama. I thought we had time. I wanted more. I wanted to sit in a chair next to you. I heard you but I had so much more to say. I love you. I'll see you later.'

O’Hara was well known for playing Moira Rose on Schitt's Creek, for which she won an Emmy in 2020.

More recently, she starred as Patty Leigh in Apple TV+'s The Studio.

Culkin and the award-winning entertainer had an emotional final reunion two years ago as she introduced the actor at his Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony in December 2023.

At the time, the Hollywood icon made a heartfelt speech and the onscreen mother-son duo shared a tearful embrace.

'Home Alone was, is and always will be a beloved global sensation. The reason families all over the world can't let a year go by without watching and loving Home Alone together is because of Macaulay Culkin,' she gushed at the podium.

She described Culkin’s performance in the 1990 blockbuster as 'perfect.'

'I know you worked really hard. I know you did, but you made acting look like the most natural thing in the world to do,’ she added.

O’Hara also praised his professionalism and passion for acting, noting that he always brings his 'sweet and twisted, yet totally relatable sense of humor to every project he does.’

'Macaulay, congratulations. You so deserve your star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame,' she said.

She injected her signature humor as she concluded, ‘And thank you for including me, your fake mom who left you home alone not once, but twice, to share in this happy occasion. I'm so proud of you.'

Ana Martinez – producer of the Hollywood Walk of Fame – had previously expressed excitement over O'Hara and Culkin's reunion in a press release.

'How fitting that Catherine O'Hara who played Macaulay's mother in the film is reuniting with her movie son and will be speaking at the ceremony!' she said.
