Super Sized Salon star Jamie Lopez has died at the age of 37 after suffering heart complications.

The WE TV star's sudden death was confirmed by the beauty salon's social media account with a picture of the make-up artist.

"On behalf of the Babydoll Beauty Couture team, we regretfully announce, with great pain, the passing of The Founder & Owner of Babydoll Beauty Couture, The Legendary Jamie Lopez," they said.

"We ask, on behalf of the Babydoll family, that you allow us time to process this tremendous loss. Further details and arrangements will be announced soon.

"We have suffered an extraordinary loss and appreciate the time and space to grieve in peace. Please keep our Babydoll family & team lifted in your hearts and prayers."

Meanwhile, TMZ reported that Jamie was taken to a Las Vegas hospital over the weekend due to complications in her heart.

Super Sized Salon was a show that followed Jamie at the Babydoll Beauty Couture salon, the establishment she founded after facing discrimination in the beauty industry for being plus-sized.

The show's focus was to make 'everyone look and feel beautiful, no matter their size.'

It only started airing on the channel earlier this year.

In 2017, Jamie opened up about her career and journey to Yahoo Beauty, explaining: "I started off as a makeup artist and was highly discriminated against for being a plus-size woman."

She added: "I was inspired by there being no place I could get my nails or hair done in Vegas that would accommodate my needs as a plus-size woman, and I decided it was time to make some changes for the plus-size women of the world."
