Amy Huberman breaks social media silence to pay tribute to her late father on Father's Day

Actress Amy Huberman has broken her social media silence to thank followers for their condolences after the death of her late father

Harold Huberman died four days after he celebrated his 84th birthday in Our Lady’s Hospice Harold’s Cross, surrounded by his family, wife Sandra, daughter Amy and sons Mark and Paul.

Amy had remained silent on social media since her father’s death as she took time to grieve.

But on Father’s Day on Sunday, the Finding Joy star paid tribute to her late father.

She wrote: “Happy Father’s Day to all the wonderful dads out there, here and gone.

“On a personal note, thank you so much for all your incredibly kind messages over the past few weeks.

“I have been so touched and it has meant so much when my heart has been so immeasurably sad.

“Today I will raise a glass to you dad, to celebrate and remember wonderful you. L’chaim Pops xxxx”

Announcing her father’s death earlier this month, Amy said on Instagram: “My wonderful wonderful Dad. Kind and generous, clever and curious, brave and bold, creative and talented, ambitious and tenacious, dapper and unique, a gentleman through and through, adventurous and free spirited, welcoming to everyone, encouraging and inspiring, always looking forward with positivity.

“And ever ever so witty.

“He took the big commitments in life seriously but always managed to find the fun in the small things of the everyday. In the face of doubt or adversity, he would always try, he would always go for it. Thank you for all the love Dad, for all the inspiration, for all the laughter.”

Amy added that she would never have been ready to experience the loss of her Dad and said she would love and miss him always.

“Heartbroken to say goodbye, a goodbye I was never going to be ready for. Will love and miss you always, but so grateful that we were yours, and that you were ours. Rest In Peace Pops. Will treasure the memories and see you shine in the things, places and people you loved. Here’s to wonderful you xxx.

“Shalom, she iye lecha shalom abba.”
