Leandro, a 19-year-old Robert De Niro grandchild, dies; his mother Drena speaks movingly.

Leandro was the son of Drena De Niro, an actress who was De Niro’s daughter. She published a sorrowful letter on Instagram on Sunday night, sharing the heartbreaking news of her son’s tragic passing.

‘My lovely, precious angel. Since the first time I felt you inside my womb, I have loved you more than words can express, she wrote in the opening of her post. “You have been all that was ever true, pure, and joyous in my life. Right now, I wish I was with you. I want to be here with you. I don’t know how to survive without you, but I’ll make an effort to carry on and share the love and brightness that becoming your mother has made me feel. I wish that the love and admiration I had for you had been enough to save you.

The actress said, “I’m so sorry, my baby.” “My darling boy, rest in peace and eternal paradise.”

She made no mention of the cause of her son’s death but included the boy’s father, the artist Carlos Mare, in her article.

Diahnne Abbott’s daughter is named Drena. When De Niro wed Abbott, he adopted Drena and gave her his last name. She is his oldest child.

In a statement on Monday, Robert De Niro expressed his “deep distress” over the demise of his cherished grandson Leo. Thank you very much for your condolences, everyone. We kindly request space to process our loss of Leo in private.

We deeply regret the passing of such a young man. Peace be upon him.
