Leonardo DiCaprio Mourning Grandmother

Leonardo DiCaprio is currently mourning the death of his beloved grandmother, Helene Indenbirken.

The family confirmed late on Tuesday a report by local newspaper Recklinghäuser Zeitung that Helene Indenbirken, called “Oma” by DiCaprio, had died at her home in Oer-Erkenschwick near Recklinghausen in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia.

Leo was said to be very close to Indenbirken, his mother Irmelin’s mom, and even brought her along with him to film premieres and movie sets. No date or cause of death has yet been confirmed.

The Titanic star’s grandmother Helene Indenbirken passed away in a hospital in her native North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. She was 93.

Leo was last seen aboard a yacht relaxing in Spain over the weekend.

@miapocca
i think your eyes are not so good or you just must learn to read right, cause the name i took is blubble and not bubble. whatever.
it does not matter if its an israeli or an alien. someone who has an good personality and somone who loves someone has to visit the family of the boyfriend or girlfriend. especially then,when someone is ill or died. and if it´s just a friend-just to be there can help someone. where the person comes from is not importent. and if you are speaking for yourself that “israelis don´t visit old german ladies on their sick bed” then i think you have a bad personality and maybe you are an rassist and bacause of that i think you have a really sad life.

May she rest in peace - I wish the family only the best. All my love for Leo!!!

My condolences to the family. This is very sad, I know Leo loved her deeply. He must be having a terrible time with this.

God bless him ‘n who he luvs

I luv/ adore Leo with all ma heart..B strong babe

I am so sorry for the family , R.I.P.

My condolences to Leo and his family. I’m obviously not a fan of Bar but in her defense Leo was also seen partying and relaxing in Ibiza. Because of this I didn’t think that his grandmother’s condition was that serious. Leo was visiting her last week and it’s strange that he left to take a vacation if the situation was that bad. It looks like he was being inconsiderate.

If they did break-up than Bar doesn’t look that bad after all for being on the beach and at nightclubs while Leo was visiting his grandmother. Leo could have told Bar not to come with him to Germany. I can’t believe I’m actually defending Bar! Even I find it disconcerting.

I still don’t think they broke-up but we’ll definately know for a fact if Bar doesn’t show up to Leo’s grandmother’s memorial service.

Anti-bar, remember when he was in Israel with her and his aunt died and he returned to Germany and she stayed in Israel? Seems strange to me, but who knows? It could be something as crazy as a visa problem not allowing her to go to Germany to support him during this time. I know I can’t believe I am defending her, too - we both feel the same way about this girl. :-( Anyway, I feel so sad for Leo and hope that there are many friends with him to support him at this sad time.

I pray for him and his mom because this must be difficult for them, since the three of them seemed very close..She is in a better place now, so that will bring them the comfort to get through their loss. Sending lots of love and prayers to Leo and him Mommy…

about visa @ 08/06/2008 at 12:35 pm

it is not problem with visa ,cause she must have one for spain, so she is able to travel to other european countries ( schenegen area)

Maybe Bar wasn’t around because Leo and her really aren’t all that serious. And they may have both been vacationing near each other, but wouldn’t you think that would be a good time for Leo to be with her? While she’s “working” they could have spent time together when she wasn’t posing a few hours a day or whatever “work”she does. I guess they’ll show up together soon if they are still dating.
Anyways, my condolensces to Leo and his family.

RIP Helene!
All my thoughts are with Leo and his family..

You High School Musical fans prove how terrible you really are.

For starters, Leonardo wouldn’t touch Ashley Tisdale with a barge pole. Secondly, his grandmother has just died and some pathetic Vanessa Hudgens fanboy is bashing Leonardo. GROW UP. Proof that you fanbots of Vanessa and Ashley’s have the mind capacity of a 5 year old.

Bubble head…did Leo tell you he loved his GF and did his GF say she loved him..where are you extrapolating all this sh-it from..please stop with your sop stories…grou up and get educated on teh basics of life

Are they even boyfriend and GF…geez..who cares…its about ,leo and his family, he is not married and he does nto seem to be srious about anyone..players usually mourn by themselves because by that time, all the gfs have ahd enough of the palys…

Laura I think you’re right. Bar wasnt with leo because she and Leo aren’t that serious. No need to bring bed warmer into family business.

RIP OMA!!!

Sad news for Leo and his family .. all my thoughts are with them.

i feel so bad for him :( I know he was really close to her.
May she rest in peace.

Anti-Bar that did not look like Leo was relaxing to me. In those pictures on the boat he seemed really upset like something was bothering him.

Bar on the other hand was laughing up a storm like nothing was bothering her. And nothing was probably bothering her.

This is sad news for Leo and his family…he’s always told such delightful stories about her…they seem like a very close family…it always hurts to lose one so close to you…

And as to Bar, even if her and Leo weren’t that serious, I would think the mature and proper thing to do would be to attend the funeral…it’s an act of compassion towards someone you care about…I’ve attended many funerals out of respect for individuals I didn’t even particularly care for…it’s doing what is right…

But of course, we don’t know if she will attend the funeral…so let’s leave the negative Bar comments aside until there’s proof she didn’t show…

Much sympathy to Leo and his family…

Rest in peace …. so sorry to hear that !! i support leo from my heart

love you leo

rest in peace

@ Anti-bar : for someone who doesn’t love Bar, I find that you tries to defend her a lot … Are you sure you don’t love her ?? It’s not evident on yours answers …

sad news. May she rest in peace.
