Joanne Whalley, the ex-wife of Val Kilmer, and his daughter, Mercedes Kilmer, were seen together for the first time since his passing, sharing an emotional embrace. The intimate moment was captured outside Joanne’s house on Wednesday, as she comforted her daughter, who was visibly devastated by the loss.
Mercedes, seen with her arms full of bags, appeared to be in the process of moving things into her vehicle when the emotional exchange took place.
Yesterday, Mercedes confirmed to The New York Times that her father had passed away after a long battle with pneumonia.
Further details revealed by TMZ explain that Kilmer’s health had significantly worsened in his final years, leading him to be bedridden for an extended period before his death. His passing was expected, given his ongoing health struggles, and family members, including his children, were at his side during his final days.
In the latest episode of Last Days, available on all audio platforms, we reflect on Kilmer’s remarkable life and lasting legacy.
