"During the Emmys In Memoriam segment on Monday night, the actress was remembered by her former co-stars.

She was my mum. She was our mama,” he said.

O’Hara is survived by her husband, production designer and director Bo Welch, and their sons Matthew and Luke. Culkin continued: “And by extension, she’s all of our mama. By the way, call your mother tonight. Give it up for mums. But like a good mama, she always showed up when I asked her to. Because that was Catherine. That’s what she did. She showed up. And this is the best that we can do for her tonight.”
Referencing the Home Alone plotline, he added: “'She may have forgotten me… twice. But we will always remember her.'"
