Paulina Rubio Mourns Father's Death

By Michael Lopez

Paulina Rubio’s joyous holiday season came to an abrupt halt last week. The Mexican pop star, who welcomed her first child into the world in late December, was hit with devastating news that her father passed away on Jan. 11.

Enrique Rubio, 67, suffered a major heart attack and stroke on Jan. 3 and spent most of the month in “critical but stable” condition at a Mexico hospital. Then things took a tragic turn for the worse when his kidneys began to fail, ultimately leading to his death.

Paulina, her brother Enrique Jr. and her actress mother, Susana Dosamantes, all visited the elder Rubio’s bedside. When he passed away, Pau Pau shared her emotions with the Twitterverse.

“I am sad, my father is not physically here with me but his soul lives in me!” she tweeted.

Thalia and other celebs tweeted their condolences to the Rubio family. Our deepest sympathies go out to Paulina and her family during this difficult time.
