The actress also went into detail about her stepfather, Roy Battersby, who passed away in January 2024 after being diagnosed with two forms of cancer and suffering a massive stroke.
âI was adored once too Andrew Aguecheek, Twelfth Night,â Beckinsale wrote. â12 hours after he died my mother called to tell me she had been told she had an aggressive brain lining cancer and would be dead in six weeks. I flew her out to take care of her and of course she survived 2 years longer than that but my stepfather was diagnosed with skin cancer, then muscle invasive bladder cancer, and then had a catastrophic stroke followed by sepsis Now they are all gone, what can you do huh?â

Kate Beckinsale Opens Up About Her Vulnerability
Beckinsale recently wiped her Instagram clean, later unarchiving several posts. In one fan comment, thanking the actress for her vulnerability, Beckinsale responded by explaining why she scrubbed her social media, noting that Instagram âerasedâ memorable audio from conversations with her mom.
âanytime I have been vulnerable I have received so much unbelievable abuse you could not even imagine that’s why I have archived most of my posts,â she wrote. âAnd Instagram has removed all the audio from any posts that I am talking on even conversations with my dead mother as if it’s somehow a copyright issue that’s bullying. I don’t even know what to say about that but they have erased the conversations between me and my dead mother for absolutely no reason.â
While Beckinsale took on the grief of her stepfatherâs death in 2024 as well as her momâs terminal cancer diagnosis, she had her own bout with health.

She also defended herself in December 2025 after receiving hateful comments about her weight loss. In an Instagram video from that month, Beckinsale emphasized the toll that her momâs death had taken on her, People reported. She also mentioned her dad Richard Beckinsaleâs death when she was only five years old.
â2025 was a really really hard year. It was also the last year that my incredible mum was on this planet,â she said at the time. âSo I feel really torn about letting go of it as well.â
âI watched my 31-year-old father die of a huge heart attack, and then I watched my stepfather die and I watched my mother degenerate and die,â Beckinsale added. âSuch an incredible amount of suffering and what I will say, it doesn’t make you feel very hungry.â
