Rebel Wilson reveals she’s suffered second family tragedy

Rebel Wilson has shared a tribute to her beloved grandmother after the matriarch’s death at age 95 this weekend. 

The 45-year-old made the heartbreaking announcement alongside an Instagram reel showing an array of images of her nan and family, including wife Ramona Agruma. 

‘Goodbye to my incredible Grandma Gar – the BEST grandmother ever,’ the Pitch Perfect star began in a lengthy caption. 

‘She passed away at 95 years old. Her favourite movie was The Wizard of Oz because when she was a young girl she was banned by her father from seeing it for being “naughty”. But years later, she finally got to watch it,’ she continued. 

‘She used to keep a scrapbook of news clippings of my career because she was so proud and even last night was telling paramedics about me as she was being taken to hospital – recounting her glorious holiday on the Queen Mary that I had given her as a present when I had started making it big in Hollywood.

'Goodbye to my incredible Grandma Gar - the BEST grandmother ever,' the Pitch Perfect star began in a lengthy caption

‘When I was 11, she took me and my sister to America. It was one of the best weeks of my entire life. We took her on SPACE MOUNTAIN at Disneyland saying “it’s not that scary Gar!” and she screamed the entire way down holding on for dear life.’

Rebel went on: ‘I’m glad her last ‘big’ outing was to our wedding at the Opera House. She loved watching tennis, musicals, neenish tarts, but most importantly she LOVED her family – her children, grandchildren and now great-grandchildren. 

‘She leaves behind an incredible legacy. She had a hair salon back in the day when few women owned businesses. 

‘She endured so much in her life and was always so kind and sweet. To me she is a Queen and I proudly carry her royal name of Elizabeth. Love you Gar and love to all my family at this very sad time.’

The loss comes just months after Rebel’s grandfather died at the age of 97 in December.

Sharing a photo of herself and her elderly relative on Instagram at the time, Rebel wrote, ‘RIP Poppy – 97 years young. The best grandpa!’

Rebel’s grandma was able to see her marry wife Ramona at the couple’s second wedding in Australia in December.

The actress confirmed the news on her Instagram, sharing a series of photos of the couple after they legally tied the knot in her hometown.

'It meant my 94-year-old grandmother Gar could come, which was very special to us to have her included, and it just felt right to do it in my hometown at this glorious time of the year!' Rebel wrote at the time

Rebel revealed her sister Liberty officiated the wedding, which was attended by their closest family and friends.

‘My sister Liberty officiated our legal wedding in Sydney!’ she wrote at the time.

‘It meant my 94-year-old grandmother Gar could come, which was very special to us to have her included, and it just felt right to do it in my hometown at this glorious time of the year!’

Rebel and Ramona first tied the knot in Sardinia, Italy, on September 28 last year, and daughter Royce was their flower girl.

It was the perfect fairytale location for the couple to exchange vows as they notably holidayed in Porto Cervo, Sardinia, just days after going Instagram official with their romance in 2022.

The Bridesmaids actress and her partner were reportedly supposed to get married in a 2025 beach wedding but Rebel decided to move up the date.

The couple first met in 2021 and announced their engagement in February 2023.
