Dakota Culkin, Macaulay Culkin’s 29-year-old sister, was killed in a car accident in Los Angeles. Macaulay Culkin, 28, has five other siblings: Shane, 32, Kieran, 26, Quinn, 24, Christian, 21, and Rory, 19.

According to LAPD spokesman Richard French, she stepped in front of a car before 11pm on Tuesday and died the following day. "The driver stopped, rendered aid, and identified himself as
required by law," said French. "Detectives determined that the driver
was not under the influence of drugs or alcohol and that no crime was
committed."
A close friend of hers, Andrea Poe, said, "She was very low key [about her name], but at the same time proud of
her siblings. She was very close to Macaulay. They would
talk frequently on the phone or go out to eat. All of us who knew and worked with Dakota are in deep shock. It was a total freak accident."
