Macaulay Culkin’s sister died Wednesday after being struck by a car. Dakota Culkin, 29, was walking in Los Angeles’s west side when she stepped off a curb and into the path of a moving vehicle. She was taken to UCLA Hospital but later died from massive head trauma.

Macaulay’s rep released this statement: “We can officially confirm that the victim is Dakota Culkin. This is a terrible tragic accident. We have no further comment at this time.”

According the LAPD, the driver of the vehicle was not under the influence and was not cited for speeding. Detectives say he immediately stopped and offered aid to Culkin. Get more information in the clip above.
