Jamal was awarded an MBE in 2014 for his work in music and business.
Charlene White opened Monday's Loose Women with a poignant tribute to Jamal.
She told viewers: "Many of you that regularly watch this show will know that the love Brenda had for both Jamal and daughter Tanisha was massive.
"Her heart was full of so much love for those children, so you know just how shocked Brenda is and just how hard it's hit all of us who knew him and of course all of us who love Brenda."
Fellow panellist Judy Love said: "I think people see us on Loose Women ... but it's so much bigger than that, the friendships that we build outside and the support that we give each other in different areas of our lives
"This is an area, if I'm honest, I don't wanna be here doing this, I don't want to have to do this but we have to you know, and it's heart-breaking and all we can do is try the best to support Brenda and honour her amazing son through this time."
Charlene and Judy said they had both been to see Brenda on Sunday.
Charlene continued: "We wanted to give them all the love and hugs we could, it's not going to help but we want them to know they are loved."
She explained that Brenda had issued a statement after Jamal's death, because someone else had already broken the news on social media.
As she read Brenda's statement, she fought back tears, while Judy couldn't help but cry.
Speaking about Jamal, Charlene said: "He is a powerhouse, he changed the music scene. One man. In a way that we've not seen for generations.
"But there is work life and there is family life and there is home life and it should've been Brenda that was able to choose when to tell the world about her loss and that was taken away from her."
Many viewers became emotional while watching.
Taking to Twitter, Anisa Subedar said: "Not sure how Charlene White held it together just then. I'm broken just watching. Much love to all."
Kelly Honour said: "I cannot imagine what Brenda Edwards is going through right now, but one thing is for sure Jamal, did you and the music industry proud and his legacy will be lived on through those he helped."
Owen Weir said: "I’m in tears. Brenda and Tanisha everyone is with you"
