The Post has reached out to Kirkland’s rep for comment.

Kirkland entered hospice care in Palm Springs, Calif. amid her battle with dementia before her death.

Greene said that the actress had her close friend and former student, Cody Galloway, by her side.

A GoFundMe page for Kirkland was created in November 2024 to help the Oscar nominee deal with her “significant health crisis.”

“Sally is on hospice now and is resting comfortably. Please hold and send the light for Sally,” a Nov. 7 message on the page reads.

The organizers of the page gave insight into Kirkland’s health struggles.

“This past year Sally fractured her four bones in her neck, right wrist and her left hip,” the organizers wrote on the GoFundMe. “While recovering she developed two separate life-threatening infections.”

“The combination of these injuries and infections have required extensive hospitalizations and rehab beyond the 100 days insurance will cover,” the message added.

On Oct. 2, the organizers said Kirkland had “a challenging few months as her health continues to struggle.”

“She had a fall in the shower, when she was left unattended; injuring her ribs, foot, along with cuts and bruises,” the message read, adding that Kirkland was “receiving 24/7 care in a specialized facility, that is providing wonderful safety and care.”
