There's sad and tragic news for the 'Home Alone' star Macaulay Culkin and his family this Christmas. His sister, Dakota Culkin, 29, has died after she was hit by a car.
TMZ reports Dakota walking in the west side of Los Angeles Tuesday when she stepped off a curb and was struck by a car. She died of her injuries Wednesday afternoon (10 December) after being taken to UCLA Medical Center.
TMZ received an official statement from Macaulay's rep that said: "We can officially confirm that the victim is Dakota Culkin. This is a terrible tragic accident. We have no further comment at this time."
Police officials say that no arrests have been made and that the case is still under investigation.
Aside from Macaulay and his acting brothers, Kieran Culkin (The Cider House Rules), and Rory Culkin (The Zodiac), Dakota was one of 7 kids. She did not pursue a career in acting.
How very sad for the Culkins. Our thoughts and prayers go out to them.
