Michael Douglas Comments on His Relative Casey Johnson’s Passing

Michael Douglas, who is a distant relative of Casey Johnson's family, expressed his feelings on her passing on Tuesday night in New York City.

Speaking at the National Board of Review Film Awards, he told ET, "It's a terrible, terrible tragedy. [Casey’s dad] Woody is a distant relative, a dear, dear friend of mine. My heart goes out to him and his ex-wife Sale, Casey's mom. It's the worst thing that could happen to anyone, losing a child."

Of having contact with Casey's immediate family since her death, he replied that he hadn't seen them, but said, "I've talked briefly. They're grieving, as one would expect, and there's nothing really you can do. I think it just takes a lot of time. It's a tragedy."
