Cape Town – Colton Haynes’ mother, Dana has died after battling with advanced cirrhosis of the liver and kidney failure.

The Arrow actor shared a gallery of photos of his mother on Instagram on Sunday, revealing that he had lost his “best friend.”

Dana’s death comes a month after Colton revealed details about her declining health.

In a lengthy post on Instagram in February, Colton explained his mother’s condition saying: “My mom has been in and out of the hospital since January. After multiple tests we found out she actually has advanced cirrhosis of the liver & kidney failure. A diagnosis that can be cured with a liver transplant.”

He added that while she can be cured with a transplant “she doesn't have that much time to wait for a new liver,” leading doctors to suggest Dana focus on her “quality of life rather than quantity of life.”

Mom...you are the strongest person I've ever met. We love you
