Reid’s father died in December 2016, at the age of 76.
“He was a man full of life, love, wisdom, and strength,” the actress wrote on Instagram at the time. “He was not only fun and in good spirits, but he was also one of the best story tellers I’ve ever heard.”
“My dad was so supportive, kind, strong, and my hero. He was my heart, my soul, and my entire world. I love you and will miss you so much daddy!” she continued.
The death of Reid’s mother comes less than a week after the actress claimed she was asked to leave a Delta flight because theywouldn’t let her sit next to her dog.
While a Delta spokesman told PEOPLE in a statement that the plane returned to the gate “due to a customer disturbance on board,” Reid laterrefuted that claimin a statement shared on Instagram.
“I was taking a flight to [N.Y.C.] to shoot a movie. I had [pre-arranged] flight plans to bring my 3-month-old puppy dog with me which is my emotional support dog,” she wrote.
Reid went on to claim that after being asked to store the dog in the overhead bin, as well as “the belly of the plane,” she “deboarded the plane on my own accord.”
A spokesperson for Delta previously told PEOPLE that Reid’s claims are inconsistent with reports of the incident from several flight attendants and airline staff, and that the actress was disruptive and unruly. The spokesperson also said that an airline attendant would never recommend an animal be stowed in an overhead bin.
