Helen McCrory, famed for her roles in the "Harry Potter" franchise and the BBC series "Peaky Blinders," died at age 52, her husband Damian Lewis announced Friday.
"I'm heartbroken to announce that after a heroic battle with cancer, the beauty and mighty woman that is Helen McCrory has died peacefully at home, surrounded by a wave of love from friends and family," the fellow actor wrote on Twitter.
"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."
Lewis' rep Annett Wolf confirmed the news to USA TODAY. She and Lewis have been married since 2007 and share two children together, a daughter Manon, 14, and son Gulliver, 13.
