Missy Elliott and 50 Cent were among stars to pay tribute to Kim Porter, the former long-term girlfriend of Hip Hop artist Diddy who has died age 47.
The model, actress and mother-of-four – including three children with her ex-boyfriend Diddy – was found dead at her home in LA on Thursday.
Celebrities took to social media to express their condolences.
Rapper 50 Cent posted online: "R.I.P to Kim Porter, I send my condolences to her friends and family. She was loved and will be missed dearly. I know Puff is hit right now, he loved her for real, soul mate type shit. Chin up puff, Positive vibes only."
Missy Elliott described her death "so heartbreaking," tweeting: "Lord please give her kids & her whole family strength."
Representatives of Diddy, real name Sean Combs, confirmed the actress and model’s death.
Diddy and Porter were a couple on-and-off from 1994 until they split for good in 2007.
Together they have a 20-year-old son and 11-year-old twin daughters. Combs also has three other children with other women.
Porter also has a 27-year-old son, Quincy Brown, from a previous relationship with singer Al B. Sure.
Quincy Brown appears on the Fox series "Star."
The cause of Porter's death was not immediately clear.
