The movie star passed away after sustaining severe injuries from a car accident.

“We have lost a bright light, a kind and most joyful soul, a loving mother, and a loyal friend. Anne will be deeply missed but she lives on through her beautiful sons, her iconic body of work, and her passionate advocacy,” Heche’s rep told Page Six.

“Her bravery for always standing in her truth, spreading her message of love and acceptance, will continue to have a lasting impact.”
