Family First

Helena Bonham Carter has been granted indefinite leave from the set of her new movie, Terminator Salvation , in Albuquerque, New Mexico to fly back to the U.K. to comfort her distraught family.

The thespian lost four members of her family last week. They died in a car crash while out on a South African safari.

One of the deceased was only 14-years old!

A source says, “Everyone here was in a state of shock when the news came through. I saw an assistant of Helena’s who told me she is absolutely stricken with grief. She can’t believe what happened.”

So sad.
