Loring's death was later confirmed by her daughter Vanessa Foumberg, who told Variety that her mother died "peacefully with both her daughters holding her hands."

She had a big stroke some days ago

As reported by Deadline, Jacobson said on Facebook, "It is with great regret that I report the loss of our friend, Lisa Loring. She had a big stroke four days ago as a result of smoking and high blood pressure. She was on life support for three days. Her family took the tough decision to remove it yesterday, and she died last night."

Laure's tweet added, "She is entrenched in the tapestry that is pop culture and in our hearts always as Wednesday Addams, Lisa's influence in the world of entertainment is enormous. She is beautiful, sweet, and a wonderful mother. And her legacy for her family and friends — a wealth of humor, affection, and love — will live on in our minds for a long time. Lisa, rest in peace. Damn, chick... You were great fun."
