Austin Butler, who got his rise to fame in The Carrie Diaries, announced on Twitter that his mom died on Thursday evening.
Lori Butler, my mom, my hero, & my best friend passed away this morning. Lets all celebrate her. I love you and will miss you every day Mom.

Our heart goes out to Austin in what we know is a really tough time. His girlfriend, Vanessa Hudgens, has been by his side and offering her unconditional support. She’s also encouraging all of her Twitter followers to #CelebrateLori.
So, for Austin this weekend do somethingĀ in Lori’s honor and celebrate her life. Also, remember that you never know what someone else is going through, so put kindness first. #RIPLoriButler.
