Liz Hurley's son Damian says he is 'heartbroken' and 'struggling' to come to terms with the death of his mum's cricket legend ex Shane Warne.
The 19-year-old actor and model paid tribute to 'father figure' Shane - who died on Friday from a suspected heart attack.
Shane had been found unresponsive in his villa and medical staff were called, but despite their best efforts he couldn't be revived.
Damian's famous mum dated Shane from 2010 to 2013 and were engaged to be married before their split.
And just last year, rumours had been circling that they'd reunited.
However Shane denied the reports and lashed out at a magazine following suggestions they'd rekindled their romance.
His sudden death has caused heartbreak for the family, including Damian, who says Shane was a 'father figure' to him.
On Instagram, Damian shared several snaps with Steve, including ones with his mum.
he wrote: "I'm still trying to wrap my head around this… SW was a father figure to me for most of my formative years and was truly one the best men I’ve ever known. My heart is broken. Thinking of and sending love to all SW’s family."
Fans rushed to the comments section to share their condolences after hearing the heartbreaking news.
One person wrote: "So sorry for your loss, it sounds like he really was a great guy."
A second penned: "Take care of yourselves. Celebrate him and his life. Bless."
And a third added: "Beautiful memories sorry for your loss."
Liz took to Instagram to share a heartfelt tribute to her ex-fiance.
She said: "I feel like the sun has gone behind a cloud forever. RIP my beloved Lionheart."
The actress and model also shared a string of photos from her three year romance with Shane, showing the couple in happier times.
The sports star once told the Mirror that his years with Liz were the happiest of his life.
He'd confessed: "I miss the love we had. My years with Elizabeth were the happiest of my life. I wanted to be better with her."
And he also once confessed he was gutted their relationship was over, adding: "[I’m] quite sad it’s over because I still care about her deeply and she’s a wonderful person."
Even after their split, Shane and Liz appeared to remain on very good terms, even leaving the odd flirty message underneath each other's Instagram pictures.
It's been reported in the past than Shane's son Jackson had also retained a close friendship with Liz's son Damian.
Jackson once said of his dad and Liz: "Whether it'd be commenting on Instagram or messaging or congratulating, they're super supportive."
