Nicole Kidman is "devastated" and "beside herself" after the death of her father.

The 47-year-old actress is seeking support from her husband Keith Urban after the tragic loss of her father, Dr. Anthony Kidman, who suffered from an apparent heart attack in Singapore.

An insider told Us Weekly, "Nicole is beside herself. Keith vowed to be with her as long as he needs to during this horrible time and he is supporting his wife to the fullest.

"She is beyond devastated and in total shock."

Dr Kidman was in Singapore visiting Nicole's younger sister Antonia, who lives there with husband Craig Marran and their six children.

Nicole's rep added to HollywoodLife.com: "Nicole and her family are in shock by the sudden death of her father.

"She appreciates the outpouring of support and kindly requests privacy during this very difficult time."

Keith has pulled out of his scheduled show at Washington State Fair on September 13th and the couple have reportedly made plans to fly out to Australia for the funeral.
