Actress Anne Heche has died. She was 53.

Heche's son confirmed his mom's death in a statement, saying, "My brother Atlas and I lost our Mom. After six days of almost unbelievable emotional swings, I am left with a deep, wordless sadness. Hopefully my mom is free from pain and beginning to explore what I like to imagine as her eternal freedom. Over those six days, thousands of friends, family, and fans made their hearts known to me. I am grateful for their love, as I am for the support of my Dad, Coley, and my stepmom Alexi who continue to be my rock during this time. Rest In Peace Mom, I love you, Homer."

The "Six Days, Seven Nights" star was in a coma and suffered a "severe" brain injury after she was involved in a serious car wreck a week ago, a representative for the actress told Fox News Digital.

Her representative told Fox News Digital earlier this week that she had suffered a "significant pulmonary injury" and needed "mechanical ventilation" with "burns that require surgical intervention."

On Thursday, Heche’s rep told Fox News Digital that the actress was "not expected to survive."

"It has long been her choice to donate her organs and she's being kept on life support to determine if any are viable," the rep added in a statement on behalf of Heche’s friends and family.
