The passing of actress and model Kim Porter has shaken the music industry to its core. The 47-year-old was found dead Thursday morning (Nov. 15) in Toluca Lake, California. Reports have claimed the mother of four was battling the flu or pneumonia for several weeks. Now, admirers of the star are paying their respects online.
On Twitter and Instagram, Porter was praised by the likes of Missy Elliott, Kehlani and 50 Cent. Actress Keke Palmer, who was a friend of Porter, shared how she was a light in her life.
“We would laugh and talk and you would tell me everything I needed to learn, never holding back and always keeping it fun,” she said on Instagram. “I enjoyed our talks and you opening your home to me, your cooking that you promised to teach me and I mourn at the reality that now you never will. You really meant a lot to me, you maybe didn’t know all I was going through but your companionship was very important in my life.”

50 Cent, who has been in a playful feud with Diddy for years, also sent prayers to the mogul’s family. “R.I.P to Kim Porter, I send my condolences to her friends and family,” he said. “She was loved and will be missed dearly. I know puff is hit right now he loved her for real, soul mate type shit. Chin up puff, Positive vibes only.”
Kim Porter is survived by her twin daughters, Jessie James and D’Lila, sons actor-musician Quincy (Brown) and musician-model Christian Combs.
