Speaking to TMZ last week, her family said, “we have lost a bright light [and] a kind and most joyful soul.”

Heche suffered from “a severe anoxic brain injury” after she was critically injured in a car crash in Los Angeles, California.

She was kept on life support to preserve her organs for the donation process.

In the statement, the family said it had “long been Anne’s choice” to donate her organs.

It continued, adding “we want to thank everyone for their kind wishes and prayers for Anne’s recovery.”

“Anne will be deeply missed but she lives on through her beautiful sons, her iconic body of work, and her passionate advocacy. Her bravery for always standing in her truth, spreading her message of love and acceptance, will continue to have a lasting impact.”

An award-winning actor, Heche appeared in films including the 1998 “Psycho” remake and the rom-com “Six Days Seven Nights”.

She dated Ellen DeGeneres in 1997, which was around the same time DeGeneres came out in real life.

In a statement, the family say Heche had a huge heart and “touched everyone she met with her generous spirit”.

“More than her extraordinary talent, [Heche] saw spreading kindness and joy as her life’s work — especially moving the needle for acceptance of who you love,” the statement added.

S&P 500 rebounds as Nvidia boosts tech shares amid easing U.S.-China trade tensions and softer inflation data.

In Short:
The S&P 500 rose 1% on Tuesday, buoyed by improving U.S.-China trade relations and strong performances from companies like Nvidia. Despite some concerns about high valuations, analysts showed cautious optimism for continued market growth due to positive economic data and government investments.

The S&P 500 rose on Tuesday, returning to positive territory for the year as easing U.S.-China trade tensions boosted investor confidence.

The index gained 1%, with the Nasdaq Composite increasing 1.8%. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell by 166 points, or 0.3%, due to an 18% drop in UnitedHealth shares.

Nvidia’s stock led the market, advancing 6% after announcing the shipment of 18,000 artificial intelligence chips to Saudi Arabia. This news positively impacted peer companies such as Broadcom and AMD, which increased by around 4%.

Following this rally, the S&P 500 is now up 0.2% for 2025, after previously being down over 17% due to trade uncertainties. The market responded positively to news of a 90-day tariff pause between the U.S. and China, which contributed to a significant surge in stock prices.

Market analysts noted that improved sentiment stems from several factors, including the chip deal, easing inflation pressures, and anticipated tax cuts. The White House also announced a $600 billion investment in the U.S. economy.

In addition to the trade news, softer-than-expected inflation data in April, which reported a 2.3% increase in the consumer price index, further energised the market. Economists had predicted a 2.4% rate.

Investment experts express cautious optimism, acknowledging ongoing concerns surrounding high valuations and market concentration, but suggest that current data may lead to continued market growth in the short term.

Trump administration considers Qatari royal jet as potential temporary Air Force One, raising diplomatic and ethical concerns.


The Trump administration is reportedly in talks with Qatar to use a royal aircraft as a potential temporary Air Force One.

The jet — owned by the Qatari royal family — would be retrofitted for presidential use and could be offered as a gift during Trump’s term, with the possibility of it being used again as part of his future presidential library.

While no final decision has been made, the deal raises logistical, diplomatic, and ethical questions around foreign gifts, presidential travel, and how Trump may symbolically separate himself from traditional norms.
