David and Rosanna Arquette got a visit from their late sister Alexis on an episode of E!’s “Hollywood Medium with Tyler Henry.”
“For some reason they’re having me talk about like four kids, four siblings, like the four situation,” Henry told David and Rosanna in the episode airing Wednesday. “So, anybody know where the four would be within the family?”
Laughing, David answered, “There are four of us.”
“There’s really a priority about wanting to refer to the siblings and talking about the siblings. And it’s just like, that’s where all the focus is,” Henry said. “There’s a feeling of like, ‘I wish I could stick around longer because now like, this is when I would start having opportunities.’”
Rosanna finally told Henry, “We had a sibling that passed away a year ago yesterday — Alexis, who was our transgender sister. Alexis came out 20 years ago and was the famous person who was a boy who wanted to be a girl and was a pioneer. I think it was sad because it’s more accepted now and Alexis would be doing such incredible work.”
Henry reassured the famous siblings that Alexis found peace before she passed.
Alexis died in September 2016 of a heart attack after a long battle with HIV. She was 47 years old.
Sister Patricia Arquette honored Alexis at the GLAAD Media Awards last March, while David named his son August Alexis Arquette in Alexis’ honor.
