On April, 30, 2022, Ashley Judd and Wynonna Judd's mother, Naomi Judd, died unexpectedly. In an emotional "Good Morning America" appearance, Ashley confirmed Naomi died by suicide at home — and she was the one who found her body. Prior to that, it was the sisters who announced her death via a joint statement posted to Instagram, which began, "Today we sisters experienced a tragedy."

The siblings were sadly bonded over the tragedy and even made a joint appearance at The Judds' induction ceremony into the Country Music Hall of Fame in Nashville, which took place just one day after their mother's death. The two shared a heart-wrenching hug on stage, and Ashley posted a touching photo of the two comforting one another as they looked at The Judds' new Country Music Hall of Fame plaque together. As for Wynonna, she shared a throwback photo of herself as a child with her mom and sister a few days after the tragedy. "I miss her," she wrote.

Per CNN, during Naomi's memorial, which featured a number of musical performances and heartfelt speeches, Wynonna acknowledged that even though things haven't always been smooth for her own family, they're still family. "We're showing the world what a dysfunctional family does," she said. "You show up for each other."
