PARKER: 'HUDSON IS SURVIVING'

The Dreamgirls star cancelled all of her public engagements after her mother, Darnell Donerson, and brother, Jason Hudson, were found shot dead at their home in Chicago, Illinois in October (08). Hudson's nephew Julian King, seven, was found dead three days later.

Parker, who acted alongside the star in this year's (08) hit movie, is adamant that she is there for Hudson if she ever needs a friend.

She tells U.S. talkshow host Larry King, "I have been in touch with her, just wanting her to know that any little or big thing I can do - I think those of us who love her want to be there for her, to the degree that it's appropriate. I don't know her very well, so it's a delicate situation. You don't want to intrude on a person. But I just keep reminding her that I'm here, whatever that might mean to her. And it's an unthinkable situation, really. Unthinkable."

And Parker is sure that Hudson will be able to recover from the crisis, as she is such a strong-willed woman.

She adds, "The little bit that I would share is just that I think she's surviving. I don't know how a person navigates anything like this. And I think nobody is prepared for something like this. But she is incredibly strong. She is a woman of faith. And I think she is figuring out. I can't imagine what it must be like for her."

Hudson's estranged brother-in-law, William Balfour, has been charged with all three murders.
