Christina Applegate broke down in tears during the latest episode of her podcast as she revealed the recent death of her father.

“ You're probably wondering why I'm like crying right now. I'm sorry, my dad just passed away a week ago,” the actor said, choking back tears.

The Dead to Me star shared the news in a conversation on Tuesday with actor JoAnna Garcia Swisher and co-host Jamie-Lynn Sigler, as Swisher looked back on how she coped with the loss of both of her parents.

“ This is the first time I've cried,” Applegate said. “I think kind of like I wasn't allowing myself to have that yet.”
