Bryan Randall helped Sandra Bullock raise her two adopted children, Louis, 13, and Laila, 11.

"It’s a very difficult time," the insider added. "Her world was torn apart, and now she has to be strong and pick up the pieces."
The source noted his death has also been difficult for her two children, Louis and Laila, whom she adopted in 2010 and 2015, respectively.
"He spoke to Louis and Laila and Skylar about his illness and the inevitable. It was heart-wrenching," the source shared of how Randall informed them of his medical woes, mentioning his own daughter from a previous relationship. "The kids are coping, but it’s not easy because Bryan was such a light in all of their lives."

Bryan Randall became the father figure to Sandra Bullock's son, Louis, and her daughter, Laila.
As OK! reported, Randall was 57 years old when he died on August 5.
Though the Oscar winner, 59, hasn't commented on the tragedy, her sister, Gesine Bullock-Prado, confirmed the news by posting a tribute to Randall on social media.
"I’m convinced that Bry has found the best fishing spot in heaven and is already casting his lure into rushing rivers teaming with salmon," she penned. "ALS is a cruel disease but there is some comfort in knowing he had the best of caretakers in my amazing sister and the band of nurses she assembled who helped her look after him in their home. Rest in peace, Bryan."
