Natasha Richardson, 45, died on Wednesday from a severe head injury sustained in a skiing accident at the Mont Tremblant Resort in the Canadian province of Quebec. Richardson was married to fellow actor Liam Neeson. She was the daughter of the late director Tony Richardson and actress Vanessa Redgrave. Her sister is actress Joely Richardson.

Liam and Natasha had two sons together: 13-year-old Micheál Richard Antonio and 12-year-old Daniel Jack. The family of four was pictured above enjoying the blue waters of the French Riviera in 2001.

Natasha's grieving family released the following statement:

"Liam Neeson, his sons, and the entire family are shocked and devastated by the tragic death of their beloved Natasha. They are profoundly grateful for the support, love and prayers of everyone, and ask for privacy during this very difficult time."

Our hearts go out to the Richardson-Neeson family during this difficult time.
