The Sopranos actor John Ventimiglia’s daughter Odele has died aged 25, three months after she gave birth to a baby girl.

Belinda said about Odele’s family being devastated by the unexpected loss: “Heartbroken to have to post our darling Odele’s funeral notice.

“Her sister Lucinda and I have been overwhelmed by the messages of support and love we have received, and your remembrances of how cherished Odele was to so many.

“My family and I are so grateful for all the care and support we have been receiving during this impossible time. It has never been more clear how much she meant to so many people.”
