Angelina Jolie's brother flew to Europe to help her through the first Mother's Day since their mother passed away.

The actress' elder sibling James Haven rushed to Prague - where Angelina is shooting new movie 'Wanted - to be by his sister's side on May 13.

Angelina, 31, and James, 34, were devastated when their mother Marcheline Bertrand lost her battle with ovarian cancer in January this year.

A source is quoted by Britain's Daily Express newspaper as saying: "They spent the night crying, looking at photos of Marcheline and talking about their childhood.

"James then spent a few days in Prague with his sister, her partner Brad Pitt and their children to make sure Angelina was back on her feet before he returned to the US."

After Marcheline's death James - also an actor - revealed that he and his sister consider themselves orphans, even though their father Jon Voight is alive.

He said: "There were times when our father was awesome but my biggest memory is that he would look more to our faults than to our strengths, and that's what was so hard.

"Now that our mother has died we're two orphans, Angie and I, so she has a deep understanding of the orphans she adopts."

Angelina and her partner Brad Pitt have three adopted children, five-year-old Maddox, Zahara, two and three-year-old Pax Thien. They also have a one-year-old biological daughter Shiloh.
