`Heartbroken` Julia Roberts breaks silence on half-sister`s death

Washington: Julia Roberts have opened up for the first time post the death of her half-sister Nancy Motes, who died in February, admitting that she's "heartbroken".

The 46-year-old star had spoken to WSJ magazine in late February, and had confessed that words couldn't have explained what she and her family had been through in the last 20 days since her 37-year-old sister passed away, ABC News reported.

The Oscar winner added that though nobody wants anything bad to happen to anyone, but families must stick together and find a way in such tragic and challenging situations.

Roberts' half-sister was found dead in Los Angeles on February 9 from a possible drug overdose.
