“I lost a friend very suddenly this week,” Jamil, 37, wrote on Instagram. “Don’t wait til later. Don’t presume you can just grow old together. Don’t presume the world is fair or makes sense. Don’t take anyone or anything you love for granted for a minute.”

“My heart is completely and utterly broken, and I don’t think I will ever recover.” The “Good Place” actress added: “I was supposed to see her a few weeks ago and couldn’t because I was busy with stupid f – – king work.”
“I missed the chance to tell her I love her. And to hold her one last time.” “This is your reminder to put loved ones first so you never have the excruciating regret that I have right now. F – – k work. F – – k the nonsense. Call your loved ones.”
Isabelle married Bradley, whose film “Flower Moon” is nominated for Best Picture at the Oscars, in 2018, and they have twin daughters Poppy and Grace.
Jamil posted an Instagram Story with a snapshot of Isabelle and one of her daughters. Isabelle and Bradley were last photographed together on January 13 at the BAFTA Tea Party at the Maybourne Beverly Hills in Los Angeles.
