VERY SAD NEWS UPDATE: Just Hours Ago in Bernice, Louisiana — Jase Robertson, in Tears, Reveals Devastating Health Struggles of His 77-Year-Old Mother, Duck Dynasty Star Kay Robertson
Bernice, LA – Emotions ran high today inside the Robertson family compound as Duck Dynasty star Jase Robertson announced that his beloved mother, Kay Robertson, has been hospitalized after experiencing serious health complications. The 77-year-old matriarch, affectionately known as “Miss Kay,” was rushed to a local Louisiana hospital late last night following a sudden health emergency.
Speaking somberly to the gathered family outside the hospital’s ICU wing, Jase struggled to hold back tears as he shared the news. “My mom’s been through a lot,” he said, voice wavering. “She called late last night, and I knew something was wrong. She couldn’t talk clearly. We’ve all been praying together, but right now, she needs us more than ever.”
In his emotional statement, Jase described Kay as the “emotional backbone” of the Robertson family—always there to comfort, cook, and provide sound advice. “Miss Kay has always been strong, always prayed big prayers,” he continued. “But right now, with her lying in that bed, we’re all sending our prayers back up, asking God to give her strength.”
The exact medical condition has not been confirmed; hospital representatives have simply reported that Kay is under close observation. Family members, including Phil and Missy Robertson, were seen holding hands and sharing tearful support in the corridor.
A heartfelt family statement followed shortly after Jase’s announcement: “We humbly ask for your prayers, love, and respect while our family stands by our mother. Miss Kay has been a constant source of joy and wisdom in our lives. Thank you for understanding if she needs to step away from public life for a while.”
Social media has since erupted with messages from fans and fellow celebrities. Country music star Luke Combs shared, “Miss Kay has been so kind and encouraging over the years. Please Lord, let her come home soon.” Meanwhile, Duck Dynasty alum Willie Robertson wrote, “She’s always been a fighter. We’re not giving up on her.”
As word spread through Louisiana, local churches lit prayer candles and hosted candlelight vigils, reflecting the deep emotional connection the Robertson family holds within their community.
Jase assured fans today that the family will share updates as soon as they’re able. “Right now,” he said, voice thick with emotion, “all we can do is pray and believe for a miracle.” Those words resonated deeply among thousands online, echoing the hope and faith that have always defined the Robertson legacy.
