Inheritance to share or not to share

My aunt died with no husband or children. She left a will and I am the only beneficiary.
I did not know how much she left me and I told my sister (also my aunt's niece but they did not get along very well) that I would have shared the money with her.
When we went to the bank we found out that the amount my aunt left was nearly £250.000, I decided to give my sister £90.000 and to keep the rest for myself.
She is now very upset with me and does not understand that my circumstances since I told her the 50/50 thing have changed. I lost my job due to Covid-19 and at the moment my incomes are lower than my outcomes. Her economic situation is not much better than mine but at least she has got 2 grownup children (27 and 23 still leaving with her) while my Dd is still 12.
I feel sad as this is the most selfish act I have ever done.

I wouldn't have given the ungrateful cow a penny.

If you haven't already given it just don't then go nc!
