British actress Helen McCrory, who was married to Damian Lewis, has died suddenly at the age of just 52. She was famous for her roles as Aunt Polly in Peaky Blinders, Narcissa Malfoy in the Harry Potter films, and for her appearance in Skyfall

In a heartbreaking statement confirming her death, her husband Damian Lewis wrote: "I'm heartbroken to announce that after a heroic battle with cancer, the beautiful and mighty woman that is Helen McCrory has died peacefully as home, surrounded by a wave of love from friends and family,

He added: "She died as she lived. Fearlessly. God we love her and know how lucky we are to have had her in our lives. She blazed so brightly. Go now, Little One, into the air, and thank you."

Helen had been married to fellow actor Damian since 2007 and shared two children with him - daughter Manon, 14, and 13-year-old son Gulliver

I had no idea they were married.

She was really just hitting it big over the last 5 years after a long time as a journeyman, so it feels particularly cruel. Such young kids as well.

Seen it mentioned that she was in Skyfall as well and have been wracking my brains trying to work out who she was as I've seen that film a few times. Had to Google it in the end and in all the times I've seen it I've never clocked her as being Polly! Brilliant actress.

Really sad news. She was brilliant in the programmes I saw her in, all Really different roles. 52 is no age and she's got young children too. Awful.
