Actress Sandra Bullock has lost her partner of many years, Bryan Randall, after a 3-year battle with ASL.

The tragic news of his sudden passing was shared by his family who issued a statement which read, “With deep sadness, we announce that Bryan Randall peacefully departed on August 5th, concluding a valiant 3-year battle against ALS.

“Bryan made the deliberate choice to keep his fight with ALS private, and those of us who cared for him diligently respected his wish.”

The statement continued: “We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the unwavering medical professionals who guided us through the complexities of this ailment, and to the exceptional nurses who became an integral part of our lives, often putting their own families aside to stand by ours. During this period, we kindly ask for privacy as we mourn and attempt to come to grips with the painful reality of bidding farewell to Bryan.”

Bullock’s sister, Gesine Bullock-Prado, paid tribute to Randall in an Instagram post in which she also revealed the final hours of the actress with her late partner, leaving fans heartbroken.

I’m convinced that Bry has found the best fishing spot in heaven and is already casting his lure into rushing rivers teaming with salmon,” Gesine wrote, sharing a photo of Randall taken on Monday, August 7.

“ALS is a cruel disease but there is some comfort in knowing he had the best of caretakers in my amazing sister and the band of nurses she assembled who helped her look after him in their home,” Gesine continued. “Rest peacefully, Bryan.”
