Ray Liotta’s daughter Karsen, 25, attends the premiere of his last film in 1992, two years after his death

The 25-year-old daughter of the late Ray Liotta attended the premiere of his last film “1992” in Los Angeles on Tuesday in his place.

Ray died in his sleep in May 2022 at the age of 67 from acute heart failure and pulmonary edema while filming Dangerous Waters in the Dominican Republic.

Karsen gave a loving speech in memory of Ray last year when he was posthumously awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

She paid tribute to the “GoodFellas” star again this week by walking the red carpet in honor of his last film, “1992,” which hits theaters Friday.

Featuring a cast that includes Tyrese Gibson and Scott Eastwood, the film is set during the infamous Los Angeles riots of April and May 1992.

The 25-year-old daughter of the late Ray Liotta attended the premiere of his final film in Los Angeles on Tuesday.

Karsen, who has followed in her father’s footsteps and taken acting lessons, cut a fashionable figure as she appeared at the film screening.

She presented a trendy black blazer-style dress, combined with a simple pair of matching high heels and a black clutch as an accessory.

Ray made an indelible mark in Hollywood history with his role as real-life gangster Henry Hill in Martin Scorsese’s hilarious 1990 crime drama GoodFellas.

His later films include the 2012 biopic The Iceman, directed by Israeli filmmaker Ariel Vromen, with whom he worked again in 1992.

In May 2022, it was shockingly announced that Ray had died in his sleep at a hotel in the Dominican Republic where he was working on the film Dangerous Waters.

A year later, it was finally discovered that he had died of pulmonary edema – fluid in the lungs – and acute heart failure.

At the time of his death, the “Shades Of Blue” star was also suffering from arteriosclerosis, a narrowing of his arteries.

Three of his films – Dangerous Waters, Cocaine Bear and Fool’s Paradise – were released posthumously in the year after his death, before 1992 finally premieres this week.

Karsen, who has followed in her father's footsteps and is now taking acting classes, cut a fashionable figure as she appeared at the film screening.

In February 2023, nine months after his death, Ray was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and received loving tributes from Karsen and Jacy Nittolo, 49, who had been his fiancée at the end of his life.

“I am so touched to accept this honor on behalf of my father,” Karsen said in her speech. “I couldn’t be prouder of him. He was a one-of-a-kind actor and the best friend, brother and father anyone could ask for. I’m so lucky to have you.”

She continued touchingly, “If you have a Ray in your life, you are lucky. I love you so much. Thank you for your work and the impact you have made on me and everyone you love. Everyone deserves a Ray in their life.”

This January, Karsen and Jacy walked the Emmys red carpet together in honor of Ray, who was posthumously nominated for the miniseries Black Bird.

Ray shared Karsen with his ex-wife Michelle Grace, whom he was married to from 1997 until their amicable divorce in 2004.
