Actor Christian Oliver died in a plane crash along with his two daughters shortly after the turn of the year. Jessica Klepser, the former wife of the “Alarm for Cobra 11” star and mother of the children, mourns the loss of her loved ones. She took to Instagram to thank her friends for their condolences and support.
For Jessica Klepser, it is probably the hardest time of her life: her former husband, the “Alarm for Cobra 11” actor, died a few days after New Year’s Day Christian Oliver, †51, and their two daughters Madita, †12, and Annik, †10, in a plane crash in the Caribbean. The widow has hardly had any time to mourn: she had to take care of returning the bodies to their hometown of Los Angeles. With the help of a fundraiser on Go Fund Me, all of Hollywood raised money to cover the costs of the funeral. After the campaign was completed, Jessica Klepser reported on Instagram with two heartbreaking posts.
Christian Oliver’s widow thanks him for the support
In a post she shared two photos showing countless letters, cards and pictures she painted herself. Apparently it’s about all the condolences she received from her deceased daughters’ classmates. Annik had attended Wonderland Ave Elementary School, which is tagged in the post. “Thank you from the bottom of my heart,” writes Klepser. “Please tell the children that I have read every single message and I love them all. I really appreciate it.” The second photo shows a picture in which a child painted the girls and the actor as angels. “Annik, Madita and Christian, we miss you,” is written underneath.
Jessica Klepser in deep sadness: “You are home”
Another posting on Instagram by the widow and orphaned mother also gets under your skin: Jessica Klepser is sitting in front of a fireplace leaning between two friends in the photo shared, pictures of her deceased loved ones and candles are placed in front of the fire, the floor is decorated with flowers. “They are home,” she commented on the post, suggesting that the repatriation of the bodies may have been completed. You can also see on the “Go Fund Me” page that donations can no longer be made. The campaign raised a sum of over 200,000 US dollars (the equivalent of more than 180,000 euros).
Jessica Klepser would like to thank her friends who are supporting her during this difficult time. They would have created a true “protective bubble” around them. “Without you I wouldn’t have made it through the last few days,” Klepser wrote in her post. “You will always have a special place in my heart.”
