Leah Remini has addressed Kirstie Alley’s death for the first time after the duo’s years-long feud over Scientology.

“The news of Kirstie Alley’s passing is very sad,” the “King of Queens” alum told Rolling Stone on Tuesday, one day after the “Cheers” star died at age 71.

“Although Scientologists don’t believe in prayers, my prayers do go out to her two children, who are now without their mom,” Remini, 52, continued of Alley’s 30-year-old son, William “True,” and 28-year-old daughter, Lillie.

“I hope they can, one day, free themselves of this dangerous and toxic organization,” she added.

The siblings broke the news of their mom’s death on Monday with a lengthy social media statement, saying she lost her battle with “recently discovered” cancer.

The following day, Alley’s rep confirmed that the “It Takes Two” star had been diagnosed with colon cancer.

Remini mentioned Alley’s cause of death to the magazine while speculating whether the Scientologist had received treatment for the disease.
