Veteran actor Jerry Amilo has held a funeral ceremony for his daughter Princess, also known as Chidera who tragically passed away just months after they were joyfully reunited.
On August 21, Jerry shared a video of their reunion after two years apart.
In the video, his excitement was palpable as he said, “Guess who is in the building? Princess is back in Nigeria! Abuja airport we are leaving. So nice to have you.”
He captioned the post, “Welcome home, my darling daughter @pryncessamilo. It’s been two years.”

The actor expressed his grief on Instagram, sharing how this loss has profoundly affected him.
His tribute included a plea for God to grant eternal peace to his “angel,” though he chose not to reveal the circumstances surrounding her passing.
He poignantly captioned the post, “You took a part of me with you. I’m so speechless,” accompanied by black and red heartbreak emojis.
Jerry shared a sombre video from the funeral on his Instagram page.
The video shows him dressed in black, wearing sunglasses and standing before a white coffin while elderly women sing solemn hymns.
He captioned the post, “Good night 🌙😴 My 👼 Angel. May your soul rest in perfect peace. Amen,” once again using heartbreak emojis.
Condolences poured in from fans and fellow celebrities.
Chinedu Ikedieze wrote, “This is sad. Nwanne jisie obi ike. May God comfort you and your household.”
Angela Okorie shared, “My brother, take heart.” Rachael Okonkwo also expressed her sympathy, saying, “My condolences, sir.”
Despite his fame, Jerry Amilo has kept his personal life private.
Little is known about his wife but it is known that he is married and had three children until the tragic loss of Princess.
