She continued, “I am so grateful to have been able to have as many years with my parents as I have, and to have had the time I have had with him these past few weeks. My father was a wonderful husband, doctor and father, he was more than anyone could wish for.’

“I will hold on to the incredible life both my parents gave me and the love and strength they instilled in me.”

“The unwavering support when I didn’t deserve it. I love you dad and my world will never be the same without you in it. I appreciate all those who have reached out and sent messages of support. Godspeed,” Shanna concluded.

Her father’s cause of death or the exact date of his death has yet to be revealed.

Just seven months before her father’s death, the former Miss USA confirmed that People in January that her mother, Gail, had passed away at the age of 77.

In a statement to the outlet, she said heartbroken, “I am so grateful to all the friends and family who have reached out and expressed their condolences.”

“My mother was a beautiful, kind and loving woman and she was everything I hope to be. As a mother, she was loving, kind, and supportive.”

“She was above all my best friend and I will miss her every day of my life. I understand this is a part of life and something we can all really support each other with, which is the loss of someone we love,” added Shanna.

The former model was previously married to Blink-182 drummer, Travis Barker, from 2004 until their divorce was finalized in 2008.

“I love her rap career. My kids grew up on a tour bus from birth,” said Shanna. “Every creed, every race will love hip-hop and rap, that’s not going to change.”

“So to me, it’s a very natural progression for (Alabama), because she’s been in the studio with her dad with the best musicians in the world,” the mom-of-three continued.

“I think her dad understands both the nature of the industry (and) that genre of music. I think there’s a real love for it, and I think there’s a deep respect for it as well. I know they wouldn’t do anything without that respect.’

Shanna later told the outlet, “I know what people say about Alabama, but she has a confidence that a lot of kids her age don’t have.”
