Mira Sorvino is continuing to mourn the death of her father, Paul Sorvino.

In a series of tweets from earlier this week, the Academy Award winner, 54, got candid with fans about dealing with grief after her dad died last month from natural causes at age 83.

"I miss you Dad!!!" Mira wrote in a first tweet. She continued in another post, "I have been dreading the death of my parents my whole life. Now in part it has come to pass."

"I have huge compassion for all who have lost parents," the actress added. "It leaves you unmoored, thrusts you into a position you were unprepared for, without the counsel and love of those you valued most…"

Following the announcement of her father's death on July 25, Mira paid tribute to him with a heartfelt statement on Twitter.
