Ellen DeGeneres has broken her silence following the death of her ex-partner Anne Heche.
The talk show host, who dated Anne from 1997 to 2000, shared a statement on her Instagram story to express her sympathy - and send commiserations to Anne's family and friends on what she called a "sad day".
The former girlfriend of Ellen Degeneres suffered an anoxic brain injury after she crashed her mini cooper into a residential Los Angeles home. As a result, the 53 year-old was declared brain dead and was removed from life support a week after her accident.
