New details have emerged surrounding the death of Catherine O'Hara after she passed away aged 71 on Friday, January 30.

The Schitt's Creek actress, whose co-stars issued touching tributes to her on Friday, was rushed to the hospital after first responders were called to her Brentwood, Los Angeles, home around 5 a.m.

According to 911 dispatch audio obtained by Page Six, Catherine was having "difficulty breathing" before she was transported to a nearby hospital in a "serious condition."


"At 4:48 am we responded to a request for medical aid to that address and transported an approximately 70-year-old female in serious condition," the Los Angeles Fire Department said in a statement.

Catherine passed away hours later. While her cause of death has not yet been revealed, her manager confirmed to HELLO! that she died following a "brief illness."

A private celebration of life will be held by the family, including her husband, production designer Bo Welch, and their two sons: Matthew (b. 1994) and Luke (b. 1997).

Damn. RIP to a fine and underrated actress. Watching Home Alone 1 and 2 won't be the same again.

Catherine O'Hara, who died Jan. 30 at 71, previously shared that her heart and organs were on the wrong side of her body, a rare condition called dextrocardia with situs inversus.

While a person can live their whole life without even knowing they have situs inversus, it can cause complications, especially when the heart is involved.

"Words seem inadequate to express the loss I feel today," Eugene Levy said as tributes continued to pour in for Catherine O'Hara, who has died aged 71.

The Canadian-born actress, who won an Emmy and a Golden Globe for playing Moira Rose in Schitt’s Creek, died on Friday at her home in Los Angeles following a brief illness, according to her representatives.

Levy, who worked alongside O’Hara for decades, said he had the honour of knowing and working with her for more than 50 years. He described her as an extended family member and said he would miss her deeply.

His son and Schitt’s Creek co-creator Dan Levy also paid tribute, writing that O’Hara was "family before she ever played my family".

"What a gift to have gotten to dance in the warm glow of Catherine O’Hara’s brilliance for all those years," he wrote, adding: "It’s hard to imagine a world without her in it."

This has made me very sad. Home Alone is one of my favourite movies (1 & 2) and has been since I was a child. I watch them multiple times every Christmas.

Yeah, I shared it because I was curious what others thought. I didn't understand why there was so much name dropping, but self-soothing for whatever reason came to mind.
