Peaches Geldof Found Dead At Home
Peaches Geldof has been found dead at her home in Wrotham, Kent on Monday.
The police were called to her house at 1.35pm after receiving a call concerned about the welfare of a woman.
Peaches, who had two young songs with her second husband, Tom Cohen, was the daughter of musician Bob Geldof.
Her mother, Paula Yates, died of a heroin overdose when Peaches was 11.
The death is being treated as "non-suspicious but unexplained and sudden".
A post mortem examination is due to take place in the next few days.
Mr Geldof said in a family statement: "She was the wildest, funniest, cleverest, wittiest and the 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?
"We loved her and will cherish her forever. How sad that sentence is. Tom and her sons Astala and Phaedra will always belong in our family, fractured so often, but never broken."
Mr Cohen said: "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 every day. We shall love her forever."
