Former Home and Away actress Rhiannon Fish has posted a loving tribute to her sister Corinne Fish after the sudden loss of her sibling at just 34 years of age.

The actress on Saturday shared her grief with fans, posting a loving throwback snapshot of herself and her beloved 'Cory' with a caption reading, 'You were my role model, my hero and without a doubt, the best big sister anyone could ever wish for.

'I love you. Forever and always. - Your first little sister.'

The snap followed a series of other pictures uploaded by the 23 year-old in memory of Cory, whose life was celebrated in a service at a chapel in Calgary, Canada, where the Fish family are from.

Clearly sharing a deep bond, the sisters both grew in Calgary, Canada, before heading Australia - where Corinne lived in Melbourne for three years and Rhiannon eventually settled, finding fame playing girl-next-door April Scott on Home and Away.

An obituary for Corinne described her as having 'a caring spirit and compassionate heart' which 'touched the lives of so many – both human and cat,' and who loved 'fishing and camping with her father Tyler and spending time with the family dog Muffin.'

Actress Rhiannon has been dating singer boyfriend Reece Mastin, 19, since 2012, and may find solace in their relationship in coming weeks.

Corinne was married to childhood sweetheart husband Joel Dobson for almost 20 years and will also be missed by her grandmother, Nell Beyko; as well as her extended family, and her beloved cats: Kali, Frankie and Whistler which her memorial tribute says she 'she treated like her children.'

She was a passionate car rescuer, fostering kittens from Calgary based animal rescue group The Make Each One Wanted (MEOW).
