Best known for her career in music and film, Cher has become an icon. She has built an incredible fan base and enjoyed a successful Hollywood career. However, her life has not always been rosy.
At 76, she still faces her biggest heartbreak: losing someone near and dear to her heart. Cher's mother, who was an actress and singer, passed away recently, and Cher still hurts at the thought of it.
Cher took to Twitter on December 11, 2022, to announce that her mother had passed away. She shared a simple post, saying:
"Mom is gone."
Before she shared the news that her dear mother, Georgia Holt, had passed away, she announced on Twitter that she had been MIA because her mother had been sick. On December 9, 2022, she said her mother had just left the hospital after recovering from pneumonia.

In 2020, Cher said she was being cautious around her mother during the pandemic. She said her sister, her brother-in-law, her mother, and her assistant lived together but stayed far apart from one another and wore masks.
What Relationship Did Cher Have with Her Mom, Georgia Holt?
Like her mother, Cher is a fantastic performer. She inherited the gene from her mother, who also had a successful career in Hollywood. The pair shared an incredibly close bond and turned heads everywhere they went.

Holt was a snappy dresser who passed her love of fashion and looked good to her daughter. A source once

In 2013, their relationship was exhibited in a documentary that Cher did for her mother as a gift. The film "To Mom, Love Cher" contained never-before-heard music from Holt and details about her life.
