Mother of two and daughter of Live Aid founder Bob Geldof, Peaches Geldof has died at 25. While the circumstances surrounding her sudden death are not yet clear, according to an article in the Evening Standard police were called to her Kent, England home, where her body was discovered.
The young writer and TV star tweeted frequently. Her last post showed a photo of her with her mother, the late Paula Yates, who died from a heroin overdose in 2000 following the suicide of INXS singer, Michael Hutchence in 1997.
Peaches' father Mr Geldof released the following heart-wrenching statement:
"Peaches has died. We are beyond pain. She was the wildest, funniest, cleverest, wittiest and the most bonkers of all of us. Writing 'was' destroys me afresh. What a beautiful child. How is this possible that we willnot see her again? How is that bearable?
"We loved her and will cherish her forever. How sad that sentence is. Tom and her sons Astala and Phaedra will always belong in our family, fractured so often, but never broken. Bob, Jeanne, Fifi, Pixie and Tiger Geldof."
Her sons were both under the age of two. So incredibly sad for them to lose their mother.
These tragic celebrity deaths took the world by surprise.
