Julia Roberts' mum in hospital

Julia Roberts mum, Betty Lou Motes, is in hospital following the suicide of her daughter Nancy.

Actress Julia Roberts' mum has been admitted to hospital following the death of her daughter Nancy Motes.

Motes, Roberts' half sister, was found dead from an apparent drug overdose earlier this month.

On Thursday, a lawyer for the family confirmed Betty Lou Motes had been admitted to the hospital, but didn't offer any details about her condition.

Roberts is yet to publicly comment on the personal double blow. She pulled out of two scheduled TV appearances last week to mourn the loss of her sister.
