Sandra Bullock has been spotted for the first time since her boyfriend Bryan Randall's death.

The Hollywood actress, 59, is seen driving in Beverley Hills wearing dark sunglasses and with her faithful dog in pictures obtained by the Daily Mail. Bryan passed away aged 57 earlier this month after being diagnosed with ALS.

Sandra and Bryan met back in 2015 when he was working as a photographer for her child's birthday party and had been in a long-term relationship ever since. The A-lister said Bryan was a "saint" and the "love of her life" just two years ago amid his secret health battle.

Sandra's grief is still incredibly fresh but she is being well supported by her friends and family after Bryan's passing.

A source told Heat Magazine: "Sandra's naturally devastated and in mourning right now, but she's staying strong and counting herself lucky to have such a solid support system. Her sisters and other relatives have been there for her throughout this ordeal, plus she has her LA friends checking up all the time to see if she's OK."

It's said the likes of Jennifer Aniston, Keanu Reeves and Ryan Reynolds have been helping her throughout the tragic situation and she's said to have been overwhelmed by their kindness and support.

Speaking on Red Table Talk with Jada Pinkett Smith, Willow Smith and Adrienne Banfield-Norris, Sandra said: "He's the example that I would want my children to have." Sandra also spoke about not wanting to marry Bryan after she had already gone through a divorce.

"I am someone who went through the divorce process," she explained. "I found the love of my life. We share two beautiful children - three children, his older daughter. It's the best thing ever. So, I don't want to say do it like I do it, but I don't need a paper to be a devoted partner or a devoted mother."

It was announced that Bryan passed away after he was diagnosed with ALS (Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) three years ago .There is currently no cure for the disease. Those who are diagnosed with ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig's Disease, are expected to live between two and five years after symptoms are first noticed. Up to 10 percent of people however live for at least 10 more years.

The rare neurological disease affects motor neurons—those nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord that control voluntary muscle movement. Bryan's family posted an emotional statement confirming that he had passed away that reads: "It is with great sadness that we share that on Aug. 5, Bryan Randall passed away peacefully after a three-year battle with ALS. Bryan chose early to keep his journey with ALS private and those of us who cared for him did our best to honor his request."

They added: "We are immensely grateful to the tireless doctors who navigated the landscape of this illness with us and to the astounding nurses who became our roommates, often sacrificing their own families to be with ours. At this time we ask for privacy to grieve and to come to terms with the impossibility of saying goodbye to Bryan. His Loving Family."
