On Thursday morning, Ashley Judd appeared on “Good Morning America.”

She provided more information on her late mother, Naomi Judd.

Rumors were swirling that Naomi died by suicide after she shot herself.

Ashley confirmed that the rumors were true and said, “She used a weapon… a firearm.”

She added, “So that’s the piece of information we’re very uncomfortable sharing.”

Ashley sat down with Diane Sawyer to talk about the importance of finding support for mental illness.

“When you’re talking about mental illness, it’s important to distinguish between the loved one and the disease,” Ashley said.

Ashley noted that Naomi took her life one day before she was about to be inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame.

“That is the level of catastrophe of what was going on inside of her,” Ashley said.
