The announcement of Peaches Geldof‘s death has sent Hollywood figures including Lorde and Ellie Goulding to mourn on Twitter.
The 25-year-old TV presenter and model, the second daughter of musician Bob Geldof and Paula Yates, was found dead at her home in Kent on Monday. Her father, Bob, confirmed the news, issuing the following statement to the press: “Peaches has died. We are beyond pain. She was the wildest, funniest, cleverest, wittiest and the most bonkers of all of us.”
She was married to Thomas Cohen, with whom she had two sons, Astala, 1, and Phaedra, who will turn 1 on April 24.
