Eddie Murphy's ex-wife, Nicole Murphy, recently became an orphan with the passing away of her mother. She said goodbye to her mom, Ellen Mitchel, and dad, Eddie Mitchel, in a way that showed beauty rather than sadness.

Nicole shared a video on her Instagram account of the moment she let her parents go. Rather than a graveyard, she chose to cremate both of her parents and took a boat into the water to spread their ashes.

The former "Hollywood Exes" star placed the ashes in two separate baskets with rose petals. With the help of a male relative, the ex Mrs. Murphy lowered the baskets into the ocean, then spilled them.

The spilled ashes and rose petals mixed with the water, and the current carried them away. Nicole recognized the symbolic moment, writing as the caption,

The actor also has five other children from different relationships. Thankfully, all his children get along, and Nicole has accepted them as part of her family.

The model and her ex have one of the best-blended families in Hollywood. Everyone loves one another, and when they are all together, it's nothing but positive vibes.
