The Kennedy brood was seen comforting each other at the family’s storied Cape Cod compound as they grappled with the sudden death of a granddaughter of Robert F. Kennedy.

Saoirse Kennedy Hill, 22, was found unresponsive Thursday at the sprawling Hyannis Port, Mass., home.

Grieving relatives soon flocked to the compound, where some were seen sharing emotional embraces outside, “Good Morning America” reported.

Hill was the daughter of Robert and Ethel Kennedy’s fifth child, daughter Courtney, and her ex-husband, Paul Michael Hill.

Relatives of the political dynasty confirmed the Boston College student’s death Thursday, saying, “Our hearts are shattered by the loss of our beloved Saoirse.

“She lit up our lives with her love, her peals of laughter and her generous spirit,” the statement said.

Hill reportedly had been staying at 91-year-old Ethel Kennedy’s home on the sprawling compound when Barnstable police responded to a “reported unattended death.”

The oceanside home has long been used as a family retreat.

It’s unclear whether Ethel, Robert F. Kennedy’s widow, was home at the time of the incident. In the wake of her granddaughter’s death, she released a statement saying, “The world is a little less beautiful today.”
