The family of Anne Heche was comforted by Ellen DeGeneres.
The talk show host sent love to Heche's two sons on Friday.
Heche was seriously injured when she crashed her car into a house.
Ellen DeGeneres sent a message of comfort to the family of Anne Heche before she died.
It's a sad day. The talk-show host said that he was sending Anne's children, family, and friends all of his love.
The 53-year-old actress crashed into a two-story home in the MarVista neighborhood of Los Angeles while the owner was in the backyard. Heche was badly burned as a result of the collision.
Heche's condition deteriorated in the days after the accident, even though she was stable at the time. Heche fell into a coma and had suffered a number of injuries, including burns, that required surgery.
Heche had suffered a severe anoxic brain injury and was not expected to survive, according to a statement from her spokesman.
A representative confirmed on Friday that Heche was dead. They said that they lost a bright light, a kind and most joyful soul, a loving mother, and a loyal friend.
Anne will be greatly missed but she lives on through her two sons and her passion for advocacy. The statement said that her bravery for always standing in her truth, spreading her message of love and acceptance, will continue to have a lasting impact.
Heche, who is survived by her sons Atlas Heche Tupper, 13, and Homer Laffoon, 20, will remain on life support until her organs are matched to recipients by the OneLegacy Foundation.
Heche and DeGeneres were together for a long time. Heche said that the public profile of their relationship hurt her career.
The other exes of Heche commented on the tragedy. James Tupper, Heche's former partner and the father of her youngest son, posted a picture of the actress with the caption "love you forever" on Friday morning. There was a broken heart symbol in the message. Tupper and Heche were together for a long time.
