Actress Angelina Jolie, 44, was recently interviewed by “Harper’s Bazaar,” where she revealed one of her daughters had lost her pet during the novel coronavirus pandemic.
While discussing what she was doing to ease anxious thoughts during the outbreak of COVID-19, Jolie shared how her daughter, Vivienne, had lost a pet. The Oscar-winning actress first explained how she was easing anxiety by focusing on staying calm.
That way, her children wouldn’t feel anxious too. Jolie added: “During the lockdown, Vivienne’s bunny passed away during a surgery, and we adopted two sweet little ones who are disabled.”

BEING HOME WITH HER KIDS
The star explained how the bunny had needed to have another rabbit around. She stated: “They are so gentle and it has helped to focus on their care with her at this time.”
Jolie and fellow actor Brad Pitt, are parents to six children namely, Maddox, 18, Pax, 16, Zahara, 15, Shiloh, 13, and twins Vivienne and Knox, 11. She and the children are currently self-isolating from the virus at their Los Angeles home.

PAYING TRIBUTE TO HER MOM
The star wrote a piece for “The New York Times” to pay tribute to her late parent. Bertrand passed away from ovarian cancer in 2007 at the age of 56.
LOSING HER MOTHER
