The 'Fashion Police' producer and panellist always vacationed there with her late mother - who died during routine throat surgery aged 81 last September - so on her most recent trip with son Cooper, 14, they decided to leave a part of her behind so they can "still be together" as a family every year.

She shared: "Coop and I took our annual family vacation to Wyoming. [The] first without my mom and scattered some of her ashes there so we can still be together every August as a family."

The 30-year-old presenter also insisted she has no "big grand plan" for the anniversary of the late 'Fashion Police' host's death and will just carry on with normal life, though when they come home she will "light a candle" and raise a glass of wine to her mother.

She told 'Entertainment Tonight': "Everyone expects me to have this big grand plan for the 4th and I am just going to be spending it with my son. He is going to go to school, I am going to go to work and come home and light a candle, and have a glass of wine."
