Brooke and her mother (dailymail.co.uk
Brooke Shields has spoken out for the first time since her mother Teri Shields died last Wednesday at the age of 79, following 'a long illness'.
The Blue Lagoon star released a heartfelt statement to People magazine.
The 47-year-old actress, who had a troubled relationship with Teri, who masterminded her daughter's career after launching her into showbiz as a baby, says she wouldn't be who she was today if it wasn't for her mother.
'My mother was an enormous part of my life and of who I am today," Brooke said in a statement to People magazine.
'I loved her, laughed with her, and respected her. And although she had her share of struggles, she was my mom.'
