Magda Szubanski's 92-year-old mother's health is 'fading', but her daughter has taken to Instagram to share a special message with fans.

"Mum and I spend a lot of time like this these days. Just sitting quietly holding hands," she wrote alongside the candid video.

Mum and I spend a lot of time like this these days. Just sitting quietly holding hands. She's fading so fast. Good days and bad days. She's often not sure if I'm her mother or her sister or her daughter. I go in nearly every day and sit with her or take her for drives if she's able. And every day I see all the other daughters doing the same thing. A secret army of #carers #motherdaughterlove As Bette Davis said, "Old age ain't no place for sissies." Just to be clear, I'm not her full time carer but I do as much as I can. And always fear it's not enough

"She's fading so fast. Good days and bad days. She's often not sure if I'm her mother or her sister or her daughter. I go in nearly every day and sit with her or take her for drives if she's able. And every day I see all the other daughters doing the same thing. A secret army of #carers#motherdaughterlove As Bette Davis said, 'Old age ain't no place for sissies.'"

The Australian actress, 55, also pointed out that she's currently struggling at this time. "Just to be clear, I'm not her full time carer but I do as much as I can. And always fear it's not enough."​

Last month, Szubanski shared a sweet video of her mother alongside her granddaughter.

#Mum still frail but much improved and spending time with my sis Barb, granddaughter Sarah, me and latest #greatgrandson whom she clearly adores You may think she's biased. I think she's spot on! #family #fourgenerations Not bad for the descendants of a Polish #refugee #wishyouwereheredad ❤️🙏🏻🌺
