Drena De Niro expresses ‘immeasurable shock and sadness’ after son Leandro’s death

“Inconsolable” Drena De Niro mustered up the strength to share a second statement about her 19-year-old son’s sudden death.

The daughter of actor Robert De Niro returned to Instagram Monday, one day after she first announced Leandro De Niro Rodriguez’s unexpected passing.

“It is with immeasurable shock and and [sic] sadness that we say goodbye to our beloved son Leo,” she wrote.

“We thank you for the outpouring of love and support and ask that we are given privacy at this time to process this inconsolable grief.”

The actress, 51, captioned the heartbreaking post, “💔💔💔😢🙏🏽🕊️.”

Drena, who is the eldest of Robert’s seven children, stunned Hollywood and beyond when she revealed her “beautiful sweet angel” had died.

“I have loved you beyond words or description from the moment I felt you in my belly,” Drena wrote alongside a photo of her only child Sunday night. “You have been my joy my heart and all that was ever pure and real in my life. I wish I was with you right now. I wish I was with you.”

The grieving mother added that she doesn’t “know how to live without” her son but promised to “try to go on and spread the love and light” that he made her feel in “getting to be [his] mama.”

The filmmaker – whom Robert adopted in 1976 when he married her mom, Diahnne Abbott – made sure to note that Leandro was “so deeply loved and appreciated.”

“I wish that love alone could have saved you 😞 I’m so sorry my baby, I’m so sorry,” she concluded, going on to tag her son’s father, sculpture Carlos Rodriguez. “Rest in Peace and Eternal Paradise my darling boy 🙏🏽💔💔💔💔💔🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️.”

Rodriguez, who goes by “Carlos Mare,” initially only posted a black square to his Instagram page but returned to the platform Monday around the same time paparazzi photographed him weeping outside Drena’s Manhattan home.

“Thank you for your messages of support. @drenadeniro and our families are grateful 🦁. You can’t spell Love without Leo,” the graffiti artist captioned a video montage set to the tune of Hollow Coves’ “Blessings.”

Robert, for his part, told Page Six in a statement via his rep that he is “deeply distressed” over the passing of his “beloved grandson.”

“We’re greatly appreciative of the condolences from everyone,” the Oscar winner, 79, added before asking for “privacy to grieve” the “loss of Leo.”

While the late teenager’s cause of death has not yet been disclosed, law enforcement sources told TMZ that it’s being investigated as an overdose.

According to the outlet, Leandro — who appeared in the 2018 movies “A Star is Born” and “Cabaret Maxime” — was found dead inside a New York City apartment, allegedly surrounded by both drugs and drug paraphernalia.

Police sources told DailyMail.com that a plate of “white powdery substance” was discovered at the scene.
