Kate, the daughter of late Porridge star Richard Beckinsale, didn’t elaborate on the state of her mother’s health in the post.
It was flooded with well wishes from her fans.
Last year Kate spent weeks in hospital with a stress-related tear in her oesophagus after her stepfather, Roy died and her mother developed cancer.
Last July she gave an update on how she was coping, saying: ‘I just think people go through things in their life and we all face difficulties and I’ve been quite transparent about mine.
‘I’ve just been mainly dealing with my mother and she’s doing OK.’
At the time she revealed her weight loss was down to the ‘stress and grief’ of the death of her stepfather and her mother’s cancer diagnosis as she hit back at trolls.
The actress slammed some of her ‘a**hole’ followers, who told her she needed to put on weight in the comments section of an Instagram post at the time.
After sharing a video clip in a crop top and bikini bottoms, one follower queried where her ‘a**’ had gone and encouraged Kate to ‘do some squats’.

Another claimed her body had ‘shrank’ while another insisted that she ‘seemed upset’ in the video.
However, Kate fired back at the cruel comments ands explained that there were several reasons for her changed figure, including a six-week hospital stint.
She replied: ‘No, actually, I watched my stepfather die quite shockingly, my mother has stage 4 cancer and I lost a lot of eight from stress and grief…
‘Quite quickly and then I was in hospital for six weeks because the grief had burned a hole in my oesophagus, which made me vomit copious amounts of blood, and I found eating very hard…
‘And I just worked very very hard on a movie that was actually quite triggering because it also involved the theme of the death of my father so I’m not really concerned about what you think about my a**.
‘Maybe you should worry about your own f***ing a**. I suggest shoving something up it, like a large pineapple or a brick.’
Kate’s stepdad Roy Battersby died last January after suffering ‘a massive stroke’ while battling two forms of cancer, which he was diagnosed with the summer before.
Shortly after his death, Kate also revealed that her mother Judy had also been told she has stage four cancer.
In recent months, Kate had been caring for her mother and late stepfather after flying them out from the UK to stay with her in Los Angeles.
‘Kate has been caring for her parents, who both have serious illnesses, for most of the year,’ a source exclusively revealed to DailyMail.com late last year.
