\u201cHer loss was a shock to us all, and no words can capture the hole she has left. She was an extraordinary, kind, and talented mother, and a passionate advocate for animals \u2014 running\u00a0Tilley Farm<\/strong>, a sanctuary for rescued horses, ponies, and donkeys, and supporting the Holly Hedge Animal Sanctuary for years.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Head family asked for privacy during this difficult time, noting that Anthony\u2019s legacy will live on in his unforgettable roles and the hearts of fans around the world.<\/h5>\n

\u201cOur grief is immense, but we are comforted knowing his work continues to bring joy and inspiration \u2014 even now, when he is no longer with us.\u201d<\/p>\n
