Though her family has yet to issue an official statement, gossip columnist Liz Smith is reporting that Natasha Richardson was taken off life support around 1:30 P.M. on Wednesday at NYC's Lennox Hill Hospital.

The actress, and wife to Liam Neeson, suffered serious brain damage after a skiing accident on Monday in Canada.

Our thoughts go out to her family.

      You really fucked up this whole situation. As horrible as it already was, you added your shitty false two cents…you are a jerk for that one perez.

      yes, they took her off life support. such a tragic story… R.I.P.

      geez, perez, you're kinda behind the times. she was taken off life support a few hours ago. it's all over google news and cnn. people, wear your freaking helmets, even if you're worried about helmet hair and you're on the bunny slopes. heck even a ski instructor told her to go to the hospital but she just laughed it off and ignored the ski instructor, and well, RIP Natasha. :(

      I can't even imagine what her family is going through right now…how tragic. My heart goes out to her family. I loved her work and sensed she was a very beautiful person. We've all suffered a great loss folks, as an actress but most definitely as a fellow human being. I've read she was a very charitable woman and I have NEVER read anything remotely derogatory about her. In my eyes, she was true Hollywood royalty. The last article I read about her, she made it clear that she would never consider plastic surgery EVER! and that her husband would never allow it either…and they embraced the fact they would grow old naturally together, and I loved the story, and I truly believe she meant every word. I anticipated watching her grow old with grace, dignity, and strength in the face of all the messed up "look 20 or else" attitude in Hollywood. I admire her for saying what she did, and it will stick with me. She always came across like a down to earth person, no aires, just "herself", and that's what I really liked about her.

      So I'm not going to lie but I love Natasha Richardson because of her role in the Disney's The Parent Trap but seriously, who can't love her. When I heard about the news my heart sank. I'm very saddened by this news. She was an amazing actress and my heart goes out to her family.

      omg Natasha has died according to TMZ and every other worthwhile reporters
      Here at Perezhilton we have to be satisfied with some idiot drawing white shit on celebrities noses, crotches and chests…just like some little kiddies drawing shit on kids in class they dont like
      I`m heading to TMZ and will spend my "quality time" there reading factual news about the celebrities I love and hate and not at some retarded site that plays kiddie games and calls it news or entertainment
      I dont know if its actually Perez Hilton doing that crap with his white pencil or a goof he has sitting in the basement drawing for him, but what was funny, now is damn lame and I think someone should get a kick in the ass for not doing a proper job over there.
      Its one thing to be comical and funny and bring a little release for people just looking for some gossip and junk on the rich and famous but its another to do it all the time to every single person and call it funny
      Y`all make me YAWN

      Its has now been confirmed on Skynews now that she has died. She seemed like such a lovely woman. My heart goes out to her family. May she rest in peace.

      Re: Wholegrain – I don't blame Perez for not updating the information on this story due to his supposed fans blasting him for reporting information that conflicted with what other sources were saying. The fact is, Natasha Richardson didn't have a PR rep to make sure the correct information was out there because her rep died last year. So if there was a mixup in information it is for that reason. The fact remains, a life was suddenly lost and now two young boys are without a mother and a great man is without his supportive wife. Instead of blasting reporters for he way in which they followed the story, have some respect for the family who just lost their loved one. RIP Natasha Richardson.

      I just read on yahoo that she has passed. My thoughts are with her family



    10. 110

      wow, where have you been dude? she's already died. i feel so badly for her family. she was so beautiful and young.



    11. 111

      PEREZ…your coverage of Ms. Richardson's accident have simply been disgusting.

      My prayers are, heartfelt, for her family.



    12. 112

      So…there's finally confirmation from the family (which everyone should have waited for, out of respect, if not out of integrity) and Perez is the last one on the net to announce it?

      R.I.P. Ms. Richardson.



    13. 113

      I really didnt know much about her and didnt realize what kind of
      talent she came from..I remember watching MAID IN MANHATTAN with J lo
      and thinking how much I hated the person Natasha Portrayed in that
      movie..Well,,she must of been a great talent because she was so
      convincing in that role..Its so obvious that she was nothing like
      that in real life the more that I hear about her..May she forever
      rest in peace and may her family find comfort in time to deal with
      this..



    14. 114

      It is devastating I just read the fact that she died on yahoo and man i thought she would pull through
      I wish her family well and have them in my prayers



    15. 115

      You have zero respect for her family, so don't pretend your thoughts are with them. If you were thinking of anyone but yourself, you wouldn't have jumped the gun and posted news that she had died when it wasn't true. This is not gossip column fodder, this is a tragedy, and the way the media is handling it is repulsive. The family hasn't made a statement, and neither should you.



    16. 116

      Hellooooo Perez!!! She's dead now, you can update your little blog!!! Yoo hoo, everyone else is reporting it, you're safe to go now!!



    17. 117

      HORRIBLE TRAGEDY. RIP NATASHA



    18. 118

      Come on Perez! Say it! She died tonight! Too bad you buried her 2 days ago. I will never check your site out again. It should be closed down and you should be ashamed of yourself.



    19. 119

      I feel so sorry for Liam and the boys. My thoughts and prayers go out to them.



    20. 120

      Re: Perez is irrelevant – Yes, technically, brain dead is dead, however, the death cert will not read the time of death from when she was taken off of life support, it will give the time of death from when her heart stops beating. Anyway, it is confirmed that she is now dead, but the fat fucker Perez hasn't posted it yet. His last post is Zach Efron, like Perez would have a chance. haha!



    21. 121

      CNN is now reporting that she has died. RIP Natasha



    22. 122

      She passed away a few hours ago, from what I here. Sucks for the Family.



    23. 123

      I'm so sad by this story. The Parent Trap remains to be one of my most favourite films and she was such a beautiful lady. I feel so sorry for Liam Neeson and their sons. This is just terrible.. Rest In Peace xxx

      Re: schoolmom – I believe you were responding to Oh Mya's comment because I have NOTHING to do with what you're talking about.
