Alec Baldwin has paid special tribute to his late mother Carol Baldwin following her funeral.

The 92-year-old died on May 26 and actor Alec, 64, took to social media on Sunday to thank his followers for their well wishes.

In the three-minute-long clip, Alec explained how the family laid his mum to rest on Saturday, saying the ceremony went "as well as one might have expected".

Sitting on a settee, the Oscar-nominated star described how family and friends had handled his mum's final days "very lovingly and very kindly".

He also praised his mum's efforts towards raising funds for breast cancer awareness over the past 25 years, gushing over the "huge impact" she had.

He said: "When she had her fundraising event in Syracuse every year, people came from pretty far away, all over Central New York from Buffalo to Albany down to Rochester.

"They had a very good outreach and they had a great impact on the survivor community, counselling women who were preparing for surgery or who are facing the disease, regardless of the outcome my mother and her organisation - on Long Island originally and then with another chapter in Central New York - they were there to help many many women face the difficult reality of breast cancer.'

After sharing his memories, he concluded his video by saying: "I’m proud of my mom and I’m very sorry that she is not in the world any longer to help people but she is certainly, I think it’s easy to say these days, she is certainly in a better place than any of us right now while we’re still here.

"She is certainly in a better place than any of us in the world today. So thank you again to everyone and their good wishes, thanks."

Following his tribute, his Instagram followers were quick to send messages of condolence and appreciation.

Among those replying in the comments section was American actor Leslie Jordan who wrote: "Sending you and your family all my love."

Another fan penned: "Sending love and light. Keep your head up, and a second said: "The physical separation of death is so hard but I'm sure knowing that hers was a life well lived and loved is a comfort.

"I imagine you, your siblings and your families brought her a lot of joy. Praying for all of you."
