Jamie-Lynn Sigler is "deeply saddened" following the sudden death of her older brother.
The 33-year-old actress, who has 14-month-old son Beau with fiancé Cutter Dykstra, has paid tribute to her late sibling, Adam Sigler, who passed away on Wednesday (12.11.14) after suffering a brain hemorrhage.
In a statement today (14.11.14), the former 'The Sopranos' star said: "Words cannot express how deeply saddened we are by the sudden loss of Adam Sigler. He brought love and joy to everyone around him, especially his family, who were by his side when he passed. Adam will continue to be a source of strength and inspiration. We ask that the family's privacy be respected during this time."
An insider also told UsMagazine.com that Adam's "family was with him every second" in the hours leading up to his death, during which he was in a coma.
The source added: "Adam was always so happy and inspired Jamie to be a better person every day. She loved him dearly and will miss him more than anyone can ever imagine.
"He was such a funny, amazing man. He was an incredible uncle who was loved by all his friends and family. He will be greatly missed."
Adam is also survived by his fiancée Danielle Piro.

Rumer Willis thinks it's "crazy" that Bruce Willis has "two little babies."
The 26-year-old actress says her 59-year-old father, who has daughters Mabel, two, and six-month-old Evelyn with wife Emma Heming-Willis, is no longer as strict as he used to be and has become "very goofy" with age.
Asked if he is still overprotective, the 'Always Woodstock' star said: "Yeah, I mean now he's kind of shifted into this very goofy, fun demeanour. But he has two little babies too, which is crazy to me."
Asked if she babysits for her half-sisters, she told 'Access Hollywood Live': "Yeah, it's fun. I don't get to see them as much as I would like, but they're so awesome and so fun."
Bruce also has daughters, Scout, 23, and Tallulah, 20, with ex-wife Demi Moore, and Rumer says they are all very close.
She said: "My sister Scout actually was just with them and sent me a video of Mabel. She's kind of at this time where she's started repeating everything you say. Scout had her make this Vine, where she is saying, 'Hi my name is Mabel, I like Kanye West, oh yeah.' "
Rumer also has a "really cool" dynamic with Scout and Tallulah.
She said: "It's really fun. It's really cool when we get to hang out and just kind of go back to that age, we become 10 years old again, and we just make each other laugh. It's so fun. They all come and stay with me."
The starlet is also very proud of Scout for walking around New York City topless earlier this year to protest Instagram's nudity policy after her account was suspended.
She said: "Scout has always been one of those people that whenever she has an idea or she wants to stand behind something, she is very much that way, which I find so incredible."

Jennifer Lawrence says she is "constantly waiting for everything to fall apart."
The 24-year-old actress, who won an Oscar for Best Actress last year, admits she doesn't think her success will last forever.
Asked if she thinks she could start "phoning it in" or retire early because she has already achieved so much, the 'Hunger Games' star: "I feel like it's going to happen for me, I just have this [feeling]... so I feel like I don't have to do that. I'm constantly waiting for everything to fall apart.
"Every time my phone rings I'm like, 'It's over!' "
Jennifer jokingly told Stephen Colbert on the 'Colbert Report' that she's planning on "going postal" in the future and said her reputation as "a nice, normal person" is only "for now."
When Colbert suggested they plan her "downward spiral" and asked her to "pick the drug and crime," suggesting Crystal Meth, she quipped: "Ooh. [It's] bad for the skin!"
The blonde beauty also laughed off suggestions she is like her character Katniss Everdeen because she grew up in Kentucky.
She said : "I've never volunteered for anything in my life.
"I grew up in Kentucky -- not skinning squirrels. Actually, I have skinned a squirrel before. I can't even say that.... I was like, 'Jennifer, you've even eaten squirrel chili!' "
The blonde beauty, who is rumoured to have rekindled her romance with Chris Martin following their split last month, also revealed she has no problem being called "J Law" by her fans.
She said: "I don't mind it. It's actually been my nickname since elementary school, weirdly, maybe not elementary school but like middle school to be exact."

Kris Humphries isn't interested in Kim Kardashian West's nude photoshoot.
The 29-year-old basketball player was married to the reality star for just 72 days in 2011 before she filed divorce and he now claims he pays no attention to what her or her family are doing, including her recent controversial full-frontal photoshoot.
He said: "I'm not someone who's paying attention to things that don't really matter in my world.
"I mean, a lot of times I don't even know what's going on."
The Washington Wizards star married Kim in August 2011 and their preparations and the ceremony itself aired on E! in a two-part TV special in early October, just weeks before Kim filed for divorce.
Kris filed his response to her petition, requesting an annulment or a decree of legal separation rather than divorce on the grounds of fraud, claiming their wedding had been used as a publicity stunt to promote the Kardashian family brand.
However, it wasn't until June 2013 that the former couple reached a divorce settlement and Kris now claims his career is his main priority.
He added to Washington radio station 106.7's 'The Fan': "I've always been a basketball-first kind of guy. And had a lot of success through everything. For me, it's just basketball, and that's where my outlet is, especially now."
Insisting he's not interested in his ex-wife's racy magazine spread, he added: "But everything else, I don't really pay a lot of attention to."
Kim Kardashian is now married to 'Black Skinhead' rapper Kanye West - with whom she has seventeen-month-old daughter North.

Dave Grohl was "beaten-up" by a goose.
The Foo Fighters star was playing hockey on a frozen lake with his friends as a child when their puck strayed towards the bird which lashed out at the youngster, kicking him "mercilessly" with its foot.
The 45-year-old rocker shared the "terrible" ordeal, as he spoke to Absolute Radio's Christian O'Connell this morning (14.11.14), saying: "I've been hit like ... I've had my run-ins with animals, I got beat up by a goose one time on a frozen lake.
"I was playing hockey on a frozen lake and my puck sort of went over towards this goose and gooselings or whatever and I walked over to get my puck and all my friends were watching me. I was a kid, and this goose came up and just kicked me, just like beat me mercilessly.
"I couldn't get up because I was on ice, it was terrible."
The 'My Hero' hitmaker also confessed to an unfortunate nickname as a child after his friends discovered his resemblance to the red-haired, drum-playing Muppet, Animal.
Although Dave insists he was more than happy to be compared to the puppet character.
When asked to choose his favourite Disney Muppet, Dave said: "Animal, well I mean come on.
"He's a drummer like you know. Because when I was a kid playing drums everyone was like, "Oh you look like Animal from the Muppets". I said "Thank you".

Jack Osbourne credits his wife Lisa Osbourne for his positive outlook on life.
The 27-year-old star, who has daughter Pearl, two, with the lifestyle blogger, says she has been his rock since he was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2012.
He said: "I tell her if I was single, it would have been a much harder process to go though."
Jack, who has just launched his new web series, 'You Don't Know Jack About MS,' found out he had the autoimmune disease, which affects the brain and spinal cord, just two weeks after Pearl was born, and he admitted having a newborn was a great distraction so soon after being diagnosed.
He added to Us Weekly magazine: "I had to kind of put on hold any genuine fears I had because, at four in the morning, I had to go change a diaper. Being a dad was where my focus was."
The former reality TV star, whose parents are rocker Ozzy Osbourne and chat show host Sharon Osbourne, is smitten with his daughter, who he says has inherited her grandfather's flair for music.
He said: "'Frozen' sucks her in, and thanks to her I now know all the songs like the back of my hand. I could do 'Frozen on Ice' at home!"

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's eldest son is working as a production assistant.
The 39-year-old actress has hired Maddox, 13, to work on the set of their upcoming movie, 'By The Sea,' in Malta.
The brunette beauty, who is directing Brad in the film, decided to give him a job after he spent a lot of time on the set of her movie 'Unbroken' in Australia earlier this year.
The teenager was spotted wandering around the set, observing the activities and talking to the actors while in Sydney, Australia.
Angelia is very close to her six children - Maddox, Pax, 10, Zahara, nine, Shiloh, eight, and six-year-old twins Vivienne and Knox, with her husband - and they all pitched in for two weeks to organise her wedding in the South of France earlier this year, and even helped the couple write their vows.
She told Vanity Fair magazine: "They did not expect us never to fight, but they made us promise to always say 'Sorry' if we do. So they said, 'Do you?.' and we said, 'We do!' "
She said: "We were all going to have a wedding. There was no cake, so Pax made a cake. The kids made little pillows for the rings, and Knox practiced (being a ring bearer) with an acorn that kept falling off the pillow. Brad's mom (Jane Pitt) went and picked some flowers and tied them up."

Liam Neeson thinks he can carry on as an action star for a few more years because "60 is the new 40".
The 62-year-old actor has reinvented himself in the last decade as a big screen tough guy with roles in films such as 'Taken', 'Batman Begins', 'The A-Team' and 'A Walk Among the Tombstones' and he hopes to continue in the genre.
He said: "With the action stuff, well, 60 is the new 40, so I'm not going to complain ... I hope to be doing this (acting) when I'm 90, you know."
Although Liam was a latecomer to hardman roles she did take the hard sport of boxing when he was a child in Ballymena, County Antrim, in Northern Ireland.
The Hollywood star did well as an amateur but admits he didn't have enough punch power to make it as a pro just like his boxing hero Manny Pacquiao.
Liam - who narrates new documentary movie 'Manny' about multi-time world champion - told The Guardian newspaper: "I was an amateur boxer. I won a few titles. Looking back, I'd say I was competent. I wasn't a knockout specialist. I had a good left jab and I just used that a lot. Not exactly a crowd-pleaser."

The Rolling Stones have settled a dispute with insurers over their $12.7 million claim.
The 'Brown Sugar' hitmakers were claiming the sum after cancelling a number of gigs in Australia following the suicide of frontman Sir Mick Jagger's girlfriend L'Wren Scott in March, but the 71-year-old star is said to be "deeply upset" that confidential medical information was made public during the court battle.
One of the items revealed in the court documents was that the singer had been "diagnosed as suffering from acute traumatic stress disorder" and was advised by doctors not to perform for at least 30 days.
A spokesman for the band said in a statement today (14.11.14): "We are deeply upset that confidential medical and other private information about members of the band and their immediate family and loved ones has entered the public domain as a result of a US court filing initiated by insurers four weeks ago.
"This was done without the knowledge of the band or reference to their legal representatives.
"This has only been discovered and reported in the press in the last week, by which time we are pleased to say the insurers and the Rolling Stones had, in fact, settled the insurance claim.
"No further comment will be made about this matter."
Following the group's claim, the insurers were seeking information as to whether L'Wren had a pre-existing mental illness as her death might not be covered under the policy and they argued her passing was "not beyond her control".
In response to the band's claim, they said: "Ms. Scott intended to, and did, commit suicide and her death was therefore not 'sudden and unforeseen."
Earlier this week, Mick - who was romantically linked with ballerina Melanie Hamrick just a few months after his girlfriend's death - was branded "heartless" by L'Wren's family for claiming her death caused him to suffer acute traumatic stress, meaning he couldn't perform.
Rob Shane, who is married to L'Wren's sister Jan, said: "The guy [Jagger] doesn't need the money, I laughed when the insurance company turned down his claim.
"All the s**t that Mick is claiming about being unstable, it's ridiculous he's trying to get his way. In a way, I'm not surprised he's doing it. The guy is just unbelievable.
"I read that he's claiming $12.7 million due to the cancellation of the tour and I can't understand that. L'Wren left her entire estate to him and that was valued around the same amount.
"It seems heartless. How distraught could he have really been, seriously? It was only a month or two after L'Wren's death he was with this ballerina or whatever. I mean how distraught [was Mick]?"
The group had an insurance policy to be paid in the event shows were scrapped for a number of reasons, including the death of specific people named in the policy - which, for the singer, included the model, his former partners and wives, seven children and four grandchildren.

Casting has begun for a biopic based on the life of Denmark's Crown Prince Frederik.
Danish actor and director Christian Tafdrup has revealed that he is in the process of casting actors for his new film, 'Frederik's Young Years'.
The movie will document 12 years of the now 46-year-old royal's life starting from 1990 and finishing two years before his marriage to Mary, Crown Princess of Denmark in 2004.
Christian said: "It's a fictional film about the royal family built on facts, inspired by the international wave of biopics about living people.
"It can be a dangerous area, but that is also part of the motivation."
Explaining his decision to base his biopic on the Crown Prince, Christian told the Danish film magazine Ekko: "Royals are good characters in films.
"They have a god-like status and at the same time they must face the same challenges as everyone else."
However, he told New Idea magazine that is fully aware that the subject of his movie might have some objections.
He said: "I accept that the royal family may not be happy at the prospect of my film. But it is not my intention to upset them."

Usher thinks Justin Bieber's troubles will improve his music.
The 20-year-old pop superstar has had multiple scrapes with the law in the past year, but Usher believes it is all part of his protégé's life, and will ultimately make the 'As Long As You Love Me' singer a better musician.
He explained: "Any artist has ebbs and flows in their life and career."
The teen heartthrob rose to fame via YouTube in 2007 before releasing his hit single 'Baby' in 2010, but has had a troubled time in 2014 which has seen him arrested for multiple offences, including driving under the influence, resisting arrest, vandalism and dangerous driving.
But his 36-year-old mentor Usher believes audiences are yet to hear the best that Justin - who is managed by Scooter Braun - has to offer.
He told The Guardian newspaper: "I think the story is just begun, you've not seen the best of his talent. In life, you have to go through something to get to something.
"From that the inspiration comes having something of substance to talk about; otherwise you're just considered to be fluff."
The 'Yeah!' singer - who will release his eighth studio album 'UR' in 2015 - is able to speak from experience about the young singer, because he was once given vital advice by his elders in the music industry.
referring to what late soul legend James Brown told him, he said: "He always told me, 'If you stay ready, you ain't got to get ready.' "
On advice from the late Michael Jackson, he revealed: "[He told me] if you want to continue to be great, you've got to work hard."

Culture Club have had to call off their first tour in 12 years after singer Boy George was diagnosed with a vocal polyp.
The 'Karma Chameleon' hitmakers were left with no choice but to halt their UK and US run of shows so the 53-year-old frontman can be treated for the growth, which was diagnosed by a specialist in Los Angeles and may require surgery.
In a Facebook post on his personal page, George wrote: "Due to serious issues with my throat I have been forced to cancel both the US and British tour with Culture Club.
"I have a polyp on one of my vocal cords which has haemorrhaged and one of my vocal cords is unusually enlarged and won't close properly when I sing. In true British fashion I have ignored it thinking the problem might just be tiredness ... I have been advised by doctors that to continue singing with this polyp would further damage my voice and would further damage my voice and could cause irreparable damage. It's a risk I just cannot take."
George admits his decision has left him "devastated" but he has promised fans that Culture Club will be back on the road once his throat is better.
He added: "I feel gutted to be letting people down. Such support makes my decision so much harder, to say I am devastated barely touches how I feel. I know that those of you who love and support me will understand that this is a decision I just had to make. I will definitely get better and will see you all soon back on tour. Thank you for the love it means everything."
Culture Club's 21-date tour of Britain and America - kicking off at the Rancho Mirage, in California - would have been the first shows featuring the band's full original line-up since 1986.
Organisers are planning to reschedule the concerts but fans can get a full refund from point of purchase if they wish.
The band will release their first album, 'Tribes', since 1999 in early 2015. They recorded the LP with producer Youth, who has previously worked with Sir Paul McCartney, The Verve and Embrace.
Culture Club - George, Mikey Craig, Roy Hay and Jon Moss - sold in excess of 100 million singles and over 50 million albums in the 1980s and were one of the biggest pop bands of the 80s.
