Lindsay Lohan is in mourning following the death of her grandfather.

Richard Lohan, 73, died in New York on Thursday following a long battle with colon cancer.

Lohan's father Michael confirmed the death of his dad, releasing an official statement to America's Ok! magazine.

It reads; "My father just, literally, died in my arms. I notified all my kids."

And Michael Lohan used the opportunity to take a swipe at his ex-wife Dina - accusing her of failing to support him while his father was ill.

He adds, "Let's see if she has the decency and respect to bring my kids to the wake and funeral. This will show her true colours! Thus, not even a call. But that's par for the course with Dina! She didn't even send a card or visit when he was sick."
