Kate Beckinsale shares emotional tribute to late stepfather Roy Battersby on one year anniversary of his death and says she'll forever be 'haunted' after seeing him die


Her stepfather Roy was hospitalised in Los Angeles in December 2023 after suffering 'a massive stroke' while battling two forms of cancer.

'In the process of losing my beloved Roy I lost family, friendships, at some points my own health, and all the money I had due to how disgusting the American healthcare system is for those who are not insured. At the time of Roy's death, the actress shared a black square without a caption on her Instagram account and her friends and fans offered their condolences in the comments. The clip opened with a moving recording of Roy recalling how he was forced to hide in a shelter during the Blitz early in World War II as Nazi bombs rained down.
