Macaulay Culkin fights back tears as Catherine O’Hara’s on-screen children reunite in Emmys tribute

Macaulay Culkin delivered a heartfelt tribute to Catherine O’Hara alongside her other on-screen children, Annie Murphy and Dan Levy, at the 2026 Emmys ceremony on Monday night (14 September).

The actors came together on stage to remember their late Home Alone and Schitt’s Creek co-star, with Culkin calling O’Hara “mama.”

“She was my mom. She was our mama, and by extension she’s all of our mama. By the way, call your mother tonight, for real,” he added.

O’Hara, a revered comic actor whose career spanned five decades, died on 30 January aged 71.
