Sharon Stone has mourned ex-boyfriend Steve Bing, following his death.
The film producer was found dead at his home on Monday, 22 June, aged 55.
And, speaking about his passing, the Basic Instinct actress explained she has found it ‘really hard’ to come to terms with.
‘This is really hard. I had a really hard time with it…,’ she told Extra. ‘He’s a complicated person who I didn’t think always made good decisions.
‘It’s a tough one. It’s a very tough one.’
Sharon was linked to the actor for over a decade, with the pair pictured together between the early 90s and 2004.
Steve died earlier this week, with the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner-Coroner’s Office ruling his death a suicide.
He was best known as the financier of movies like The Polar Express and Beowulf, and also wrote the script for 2003’s Kangaroo Jack.
As well as this, he earned producing credits on films including Get Carter.
Steve is said to have inherited a $600 million (£481m) fortune from his grandfather when he was a teenager, and promptly dropped out of Stanford University, going on to found Shangri-La Entertainment.
He is survived by his two children – Kira Bonder, who he fathered with former professional tennis player Lisa Bonder, and Damian Hurley, from his relationship with Elizabeth Hurley.
Liz shared a poignant tribute to her former boyfriend on social media, posting throwback photos of their relationship.
‘I am saddened beyond belief that my ex Steve is no longer with us. It is a terrible end,’ the 55-year-old penned.
‘Our time together was very happy and I’m posting these pictures because although we went through some tough times, it’s the good, wonderful memories of a sweet, kind man that matter.
‘In the past year we had become close again. We last spoke on our son’s 18th birthday. This is devastating news and I thank everyone for their lovely messages.’
And model Damian, who turned 18 in April, wrote on Instagram: ‘Thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone that has reached out following the devastating news. I’m trying to reply to as many of you as I can, but please know I will always remember your kindness.
‘This is a very strange and confusing time and I’m immensely grateful to be surrounded by my phenomenal family and friends.’
