She was 96. 

Arison took to Twitter to express his emotions. He posted a photo of the two of them together beneath the words, "R.I.P. Your Majesty." 

The queen while surrounded by her immediate family. The family released a statement to express their feelings. 

 “The death of my beloved Mother, Her Majesty The Queen, is a moment of the greatest sadness for me and all members of my family,” the statement read. "We mourn profoundly the passing of a cherished Sovereign and a much-loved Mother. I know her loss will be deeply felt throughout the country, the Realms and the Commonwealth, and by countless people around the world.”
