It's been a very emotional holiday season for Selena Gomez and her fam, but we're happy to hear they are doing OK.
The pop star finally broken her silence on Monday, after her mom suffered a miscarriage last week, expressing via Twitter:
"Belated Merry Christmas everybody. I can't thank you enough for all of your thoughts and prayers. I love you all so much and we hope you and your family had a beautiful Christmas!"
Gomez signed the message for her entire family, and "our guardian angel Scarlett."
X7 got exclusive photos of her beau Justin Bieber
stopping by the hospital recently to check in on his ladylove and her family, who announced the miscarriage two weeks after Selena revealed the news of her mom's pregnancy.
The
Monte Carlo star pulled out of two holiday performances to be with her fam, but she's still set to perform alongside Bieber in Times Square for MTV's live New Year's Eve special.

Newly separated Ashton Kutcher doesn't have Demi to keep him warm this winter!
The
Two and a Half Men star shared a lonely Twitpic of himself with an outdoor X-mas tree late Monday evening, where he's enjoying a Roman Holiday with a few friends.
The actor Tweeted the caption, "Keeping warm this holiday season, hope everyone is having a good one."
Meanwhile it seems soon-to-be ex-wife Demi, who
still goes by @mrskutcher on Twitter, continues to foot the bill for Kutcher’s tanning expenses!
Apparently Ashton frequents Le Beach Club Tanning Resorts in LA, where Demi has an account, and he still pops in to tan on his ex's dime. “Ashton came in to tan and used Demi’s account,” a source told Star. “He just assumed his tan could still be charged to Demi. He didn’t offer to pay or anything. He didn’t say his name or anything either; he just walked in and assumed everything would go as usual.”
Good to hear the exes are still on friendly terms!

The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo had a budget close to $90 million, however the highly-anticipated flick only brought in $13 million during opening weekend.
When asked if that makes
Dragon Tattoo a flop, one movie analyst tells
E!:
"A debut of $13 million over the holiday season is equivalent to a lump of coal, especially for a film that brings along this much fanfare. With a budget approaching $90 million, plus purchasing the rights to the Millennium franchise, plus big-time marketing, this will go down as a dud."
Ouch! In positive box office news,
Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol raked in $26.5 million, followed by Sherlock Holmes with $17.8 million. Rounding out the top three ... the newest Chipmunks flick.
We'll see if
Dragon Tattoo picks up steam at the box office as the new year approaches.
