Robert De Niro's family continues to grieve following the untimely death of his grandson, Leandro, who was found dead on Sunday.
The 79-year-old star was spotted with the late teen's parents, Drena De Niro (his adopted daughter) and artist Carlos Rodriguez, as they visited a funeral home in New York City on Monday evening.
Robert led the way as he stepped into an SUV from his apartment and they were driven the short distance to the Frank E. Campbell funeral home.
The actor covered his face with a surgical mask while Leandro's parents appeared somber as they continue to grapple with the loss of their son.
It was a heartbreaking visit which Drena followed up with an emotional Instagram post, in which she detailed holding him for the final time.
"I can barely type through my tears but all the love, the messages, calls, texts, emails, the friends and family that held me up these last 24 hrs I’ve not been able to respond yet but we’re grateful for the all your love and condolences."
