Kirstie Alley Offered Cameo Videos for Fans in Last Instagram Post: 'Whatever You Need, I'll Deliver'

In Kirstie Alley's final Instagram post, the Cheers star was connecting with her fans.

Alley's children, True and Lillie Parker, announced that she died from cancer on Monday at age 71.

The Drop Dead Gorgeous actress's last Instagram video was posted in September when she announced that she was joining Cameo and that fans could request "funny" or "sincere" messages from her using the platform. Her Cameo page has since been taken down.

"Hi Y'all I'm on http://Cameo.com/kirstiealley so if you need any personal messages, hit me up," she wrote alongside the video. "Link in bio."

"Hi, it's me, Kirstie, and a bunch of you have asked me to do these greetings, and I always do what you ask me to do," she said, joking that she "had a new baby" as what sounds like a child can be heard crying off-camera.
