Earlier these days, a world-favorite host, Ellen DeGeneres, shared some sad news that happened in her family. Ellen’s greatest supporter, her beloved dad, passed away at the age of 92. It was an extremely hard period for the host-star, but she couldn’t even imagine her heartbreaking tribute to her late father will cause such enormous response from her devoted fans.
Ellen’s touching tribute to her late dad
Ellen DeGeneres is no doubt an exceptional person. She combines all these incredible qualities like awesome sense of humor, self-irony, and unique understanding of other people’s feelings. Her obvious acting skills helped her become a host of the most popular TV show in history. Ellen has the unique talent of talking to different people as if they all are her close friends.
When last week DeGeneres said her beloved father passed away, people of the world began expressing condolences to their favorite host-star. Ellen shared a cute picture of herself as a kid with her father.
She also added she had a chance to say goodbye and see her greatest supporter, her wonderful dad, for the last time.
Before he passed away I got to talk to him, so I got to say goodbye to him… he died 10 minutes later.
This week, at the age of 92, my father Elliott DeGeneres passed away. He lived a good long life. It wasn’t unexpected. I was able to say goodbye. pic.twitter.com/L0zEJJNPrq
