AceShowbiz - Riley Keough says "not an hour that goes by" she doesn't miss her late brother Benjamin Keough. Making use of social media, the "Daisy Jones & The Six" star marked two years of her little brother dying by suicide at the age of 27.
Along with a picture of the pair of them, the 33-year-old actress wrote on an Instagram post, "Not an hour goes by where I don't think of you and miss you. It's been two years today since you left and I still can't believe you're not here." She added, "You are so loved my Ben Ben."
This was not the first time Riley paid tribute to her little brother on Instagram. In October 2021, "The Lodge" star, who also has half sisters, twins Finley and Harper via her 54-year-old mother Lisa Marie Presley, shared with her followers how she missed him "every day" since his tragic passing.
The granddaughter of Elvis Presley wrote, "I miss you all day every day my best friend. We spent my 29th birthday just the two of us and it was one of the best days we shared together. I think this photo was the day after but close enough. Happy Birthday wherever you are baby brother."
In 2021, Riley also spoke about how "debilitated" she was by Benjamin's death to the New York Times. She said, "The first four or five months, I couldn't get out of bed. I was totally debilitated. I couldn't talk for two weeks." Riley called it a "year of feeling like I was thrown into the ocean and couldn't swim."
"The Girlfriend Experience" star detailed how "complicated" her and her family found processing the experience of losing a loved one to suicide. She added, "It's very complicated for our minds to put that somewhere because it's so outrageous. If I'm going through a breakup, I know what to do with that and where to file it in my mind, but suicide of your brother? Where do you put that? How does that integrate? It just doesn't."
