The 25-year-old model, writer, and TV presenter was found dead at her home in Kent, England.

Peaches Geldof was the daughter of Paula Yates, who died in 2000 of a heroin overdose, and Boomtown Rats musician Sir Bob Geldof. Peaches leaves behind husband Thomas Cohen and young sons, Astala and Phaedra. She was last spotted publicly just last week while attending a launch for Tesco’s F&F clothing line in London.

The circumstances surrounding her death remain undisclosed, but she was pronounced dead by the South East Coast Ambulance Service after receiving a call concerning the welfare of a woman .

“She was the wildest, funniest, cleverest, wittiest and most bonkers of all of us. Writing ‘was’ destroys me afresh. What a beautiful child. How is this possible that we will not see her again? How is that bearable?,” said Bob Geldof in a heartbreaking statement.

It’s always horrible to lose such a young person, especially a young mother. Peaches seemed extremely happy with her growing family and had seamlessly moved past her wilder years. Sad to see her life end so abruptly.

Her loving husband issued his own gut-wrenching message,“My beloved wife Peaches was adored by myself and her two sons Astala and Phaedra and I shall bring them up with their mother in their hearts everyday. We shall love her forever.”

Rest in Peace, Peaches.
