Macaulayc_kevin_4684527_600 "Home Alone" child star Macaulay Culkin's sister died Wednesday after being struck by a car.

According to TMZ, law enforcement sources say that Dakota Culkin was walking on Los Angeles' Westside on Tuesday when she stepped off a curb and was struck by a car.

Macaulay's rep says: "We can officially confirm that the victim is Dakota Culkin. This is a terrible tragic accident. We have no further comment at this time."

The 29-year-old Culkin was taken to the UCLA Medical Center, where she died of her injuries Wednesday afternoon.

So far, no arrests have been made in the case, which is under investigation by the LAPD.

I have no words. This is terrible, terrible news.

And I hate to bring this up, but this is the third actor who has lost a family member violently in recent weeks.

First, Jennifer Hudson's brother, mother and nephew; then Mark Ruffalo's brother, Scott; now McCauley Culkin's sister, Dakota.

Creepy. And very sad.

THAT IS SO SAD I'M SO SORRY FOR FYOU LOST BRO BUT SHE'S NOW WITH GOD AND HEATH LEDGER I'M SO SO SADNESS!!!


Oh my goodness! A relative of a celebrity died!

While I don't like to see anyone die, I fail to see the same reaction "this is terrible, terrible news." over the 55 innocent people blown up by terrorists in Iraq recently.

Can LA be any more vapid?


I'm SO sorry for the family. My thoughts and prayers are with all the Culkins.


By any chance did this happen on Sunset in front of the Hyatt in West Hollywood last night around 9 PM? I was driving by and saw 11 police cars, an ambulance and fire truck, and someone on a stretcher on the sidewalk but it didn't seem to be a car accident.

There is no intersection there and she could have been crossing a very busy street in the club zone.

Very sad. Tragic all these celebrity siblings at once.


Buzz's girlfriend, YUCK!


Sane Man (and that is debatable), I would have the same reaction if it was my neighbor next door. Was is so vapid about feeling sorry for the family just because they are celebrities? It doesn't mean that we feel any less remorse for the people in Iraq. I am sorry for the family...and for the others who have lost their family members in such tragic ways.


That's just terrible! What a sad, sad story.


Cars are the one of the biggest killers we have, and yet no one does or cares anything about it. If one person dies of a misquito bite, it makes national news. Our media sucks.


Who walk's in LA? Also, who is Marc Rufallo?


I am so very sorry for your loss may you and your family find peace again i am so sorry God Bless
