The actor shared a warm greeting for his mother, Jane Pitt, during a special screening of "F1," less than two months before her death.

Brad Pitt 's mother, Jane Pitt, has died at the age of 84, the actor's niece, Sydney Pitt, announced this week. According to her obituary, Jane Pitt died on Tuesday, Aug. 5. She is survived by her husband William Alvin "Bill" Pitt and their children, Brad Pitt, Doug Pitt and Julie Neal (née Pitt).

After the birth of Brad in 1963, William and Jane welcomed son Doug in 1966 and sister Julie in 1969. Although the eldest Pitt child decided to move to Hollywood, he has maintained a close bond with his siblings, in part due to their shared passions for business and philanthropy.
