_ Warwick Davis and family pay tribute to his beloved wife Samantha with sweet gesture following his 'concerning' message to fans
The grief-stricken
Davis' children Annabelle 27, and Harrison, 21, used their father's account to tell fans this, as well as sharing they had started a
They wrote: 'Our Mum, the kindest, most inspirational and loving Mumma we could have wished for, devastatingly passed away on March 24.
'While it's a very difficult time for us, we're humbled by everyone who has reached out to offer support & to express how Sammy impacted their lives.
'Dad wanted us to share the project that we have all started for Mum. Through her work with Little People UK, Sammy was passionate about helping younger members of the dwarfism community, in particular those of school age.
'In order to continue the amazing work she did, we have set up 'Sammy's Helping Hands', a Just Giving page. Find out more here.
'We understand times are hard, simply sharing this message helps us spread awareness for the charity and the work they do.
'Thank you again for your kindness, love and support. We send love to you and your families. The Davis' xx.'
A total of £14,000 has already been raised for the chosen charity.
It comes after Warwick apologised after sparking concern among fans with a late night social media post.
He declared on social media platform X: 'I'm done here. Signing off' with a broken heart symbol.
His children used their father's account to tell fans that he was taking some time away from social media - adding that he was sorry for causing 'any concern'.
They wrote: 'Thank you everyone for looking out for our Dad, he is taking some time away from social media. He apologises if his last message caused anyone concern. We appreciate all of your love and support.'
Samantha, who was an actor herself, met her husband when she had an uncredited role in his 1988 film Willow. The last photo of the pair saw the couple enjoying a date night out together as they beamed in a cheeky selfie.
Davis kept vigil at his wife Samantha's hospital bedside as she fought for her life against sepsis five years before her death aged 53. The couple, who had been together for nearly 30 years, had been through struggles before including losing two children.
Their family had been gearing up for a caravan holiday in 2019 when Samantha suddenly fell ill with a mystery condition, something she put down to stress.
However, within days she was at death's door with doctors telling her terrified husband that she had sepsis, a rare condition which sees the body's immune system attack its own organs and tissues.
The thought of losing his 'soul mate' tortured Warwick and despite her battling hard to recover, he later admitted they still felt its effects as they refused to 'take life for granted' anymore.
It was a motto the couple lived by, enjoying another five years of bliss with each other before Samantha tragically passed away at the age of 53 last month.
In a touching statement released on Wednesday, Warwick said his late wife's passing had 'left a huge hole in our lives' and paid tribute to his 'favourite human'.
He described Sammy, as he called her, as his 'most trusted confidant and an ardent supporter of everything I did in my career'.
He said he felt like he could achieve anything with his wife by his side and that it felt like he had a 'superpower'.
'She was a unique character, always seeing the sunny side of life she had a wicked sense of humour and always laughed at my bad jokes,' Warwick said in a statement given to the BBC.
In 2022 Warwick had opened up about Samantha's health issues, including her hard fought battle with sepsis which left her on the brink of death before making a remarkable recovery.
In an emotional tribute to his 'favourite human', Davis said: 'Her passing has left a huge hole in our lives as a family. I miss her hugs.'
