Nicole Kidman broke down while saying her final goodbye to her father Dr Antony Kidman at his funeral held at St Francis Xavier Church in Sydney on Friday. Anthony, 75, died of a suspected heart attack in Singapore last week.
According to the MailOnline, Nicole was supported by her husband Keith Urban and their two daughters Sunday Rose, six, and Faith Margaret, three.
Earlier in day, Nicole delivered a heartfelt tribute to her beloved father during the church service before she and Keith performed an emotional acoustic version of Amazing Grace.
In her eulogy, Nicole, who Antony affectionately called “Niccy”, lovingly remembered his final visit to America to visit her three weeks ago, telling mourners she was so thankful he had came to see her.
She also recalled how her wise, caring dad had given her strength during that painful time in 2001, when the couple went through a very public and painful breakup with #TomCruise
She said he was, “On a plane hours after I got divorced,” and even stayed with her. She also said in times of trouble, her dad would say “Nic, it's going to be OK. It isn't what it could've been it isn't what it should have been, it is what it is."
Nicole continued: “I'm so lucky to be his daughter, and that he chose my mother to make me with. The only regret he'd have is that he's not here to see his beautiful grandchildren grow up. And that he's not here to take care of Jay (his beloved wife Janelle)."
Nicole said she wanted to tell him that the family, and those gathered at the church, would take care of his widowed wife. She said:
“It's okay Papa, we're here to take care of her. I want to say to him, don't worry, we'll be able to take care of her... I love you Papa!”
