The actress, 51, returned to Instagram (she recently took down all of her posts) on Tuesday, Feb. 25 to share a memory-filled tribute to Loe, 77, who shepreviously revealed has stage-4 cancer. In the caption, she asked her followers for any prayers they can “spare.”

In several videos, Loe and Beckinsale danced, twirling each other around, and in another, they both rocked inflatable Sumo suits while playing games.
“I wasn’t going to come back to Instagram,” Beckinsale wrote in the caption, “but anyone who has a spare prayer or magic or miracle or sunbeam please send it to my mama, my most extraordinary, warrior, generous, humble, loving, unique, irreplaceable Mama.”
“Thank you 🙏🏼 -Lord, keep her safe this night, secure from all her fears, may angels guard her while she sleeps till morning.light appears 🤍🤍🤍 amen,” theUnderworldstar concluded.

Beckinsale has not shared much about her actress mom’s diagnosis, but she did reveal that Loe has stage-4 cancer last July while responding to a comment criticizing her own appearance.
“No, actually, I watched my stepfather die quite shockingly, my mother has stage 4 cancer, and I lost a lot of weight from stress and grief, quite, quite quickly,” Beckinsale responded in part.
Earlier in the year, she also mentioned her mom’s cancer journey whilepraising King Charles for his openness with regard to his own diagnosis and treatment.
While speaking at the King’s Trust Gala in New York City in May 2024, Beckinsale said she was “impressed” with “how open” King Charles has “been about having cancer.”
Beckinsale also revealed at the N.Y.C. event that her mom and the King “happened to be at the same cancer hospital” recently. “I hope everyone gets better,” the actress added at the time. “I’m f—— sick of cancer, I really am.”

While celebrating the U.K.’s Mother’s Day in March 2024, Beckinsale — whowas hospitalized for a health issue of her own at the time— also gave a rare glimpse into her mom’s “fight for joy” in a sweet tribute.
“Happy birthday and U.K. Mother’s Day this last week to my incredible mother,” she wrote at the time. “Thank you to those that love us and support us when it’s s— and try to make sure there are some bits that aren’t. And for looking after our dogs when we can’t, and lead us to remember happy things when we can’t. And turn up when we are sick and sit with us . . And send balloons and check in and pull us out of wells with love.”
“Thank you for loving us, those who do, and for the amazing, kindest Nick, and especially for my mother’s capacity for joy,” Beckinsale continued. “It is so inspiring and beautiful. Happy everything mama. Your fight for joy despite also welcoming tears is the experience of watching a warrior up close. I love you x.”
