On a sad note, Whoopi Goldberg, who is known for her peppy spirit and enjoyable disposition, has announced that her mother passed away last month.

During her time on “The View” today, the “Sister Act” actress shared, “My mom passed on the 29th of August,” while chatting with Barbara Walters.

Whoopi described her mom Emma as, “one of the best people I think I’ve had the privilege of knowing. I don’t think she quite realized how many lives she touched. She was an extraordinary woman.”

“And really, my brother and I were very, very lucky to have her in our lives. And so, I’m not sad because she had a great time… I think I’m just sad sometimes because I think who will love me the way that she did? But I realized that my brother and I have each other so we’re okay.”
