Rob and Michele Singer Reiner's daughter quietly marked her 28th birthday surrounded by loved ones, nearly two weeks after her parents' tragic death.
The You People actress, whose birthday was on Saturday, Dec. 27, marked her new year of life nearly two weeks after her parents' bodies were found in their home.
Rob and Michele met while he was directing When Harry Met Sally and got married in 1989. The couple had three kids: Nick, Romy and Jake. Rob also adopted his daughter, Tracy, during his first marriage to Penny Marshall.

Obtained by PEOPLE on Tuesday, Dec. 23, the official death certificates confirm Rob, 78, and Michele, 70, died of "multiple sharp force injuries" inside their Los Angeles home on Sunday, Dec. 14, caused "with [a] knife, by another." The time between the onset of injuries and death is listed as "minutes."
The death certificates indicate Rob was found first, at about 3:45 p.m. local time, and Michele, who is listed as "widowed," was discovered at 3:46 p.m.
Jake and Romy are leaning on one another for support following their parents' killings.
Jake, 34, and Romy, 28, are still coming to terms with their parents' deaths after the bodies of Rob, 78, and Michele, 70, were found inside the Reiner family's Los Angeles home on Dec. 14, a source told PEOPLE. The couple's other son, Nick, 32, is facing two counts of first-degree murder in connection with their deaths.
“This nightmare isn't even over for Romy and Jake. There is a lot more to be done, but they’ve been surrounded by loved ones and support in all forms, and that will continue,” the insider said.
"Romy and Jake have been close since they were young. That strong bond has really helped them in the last two weeks," the source continued.
The siblings have been trying to keep themselves busy following the tragedy. “Romy and Jake are going out for walks or errands, trying to embrace any opportunities for moments of normalcy when it feels right, but this is all still so new and overwhelming," the source tells PEOPLE.
The insider adds, "It's surreal. They’re still processing and their grief journey has really just begun."

Earlier this month, Jake and Romy shared a statement with PEOPLE following their parents' tragic deaths, which read, "Words cannot even begin to describe the unimaginable pain we are experiencing every moment of the day."
"The horrific and devastating loss of our parents, Rob and Michele Reiner, is something that no one should ever experience. They weren't just our parents; they were our best friends," the siblings added.
"We are grateful for the outpouring of condolences, kindness, and support we have received not only from family and friends but people from all walks of life," the statement continued. "We now ask for respect and privacy, for speculation to be tempered with compassion and humanity, and for our parents to be remembered for the incredible lives they lived and the love they gave."
