Model and actress, Kim Porter was found dead in her LA home on Thursday.
TMZ broke the news, reported emergency responders rushed to the 47-year-old’s home after a dispatch went out about a patient in cardiac arrest. Cindi Berger, Porter’s rep, confirmed her death in a statement to TMZ: “Sadly, I can confirm the passing of Kim Porter. I ask that you give the families privacy at this time.”
A source told TMZ that Porter had been suffering from flu-like symptoms, similar to pneumonia, for several weeks. The cause of her death is unknown.

All I can think about are her babies. Kim Porter seemed like such a genuine, loving, involved, and encouraging mother. Sending prayers to all who knew and loved her.
This is so sad.

Porter leaves behind three children, her son Christian and twin daughters Jessie James and D’Lila Star, 11. She is also survived by her son, actor Quincy brown, from her previous relationship with singer Al B. Sure. The song “Forever My Lady” was inspired by Kim and Al’s relationship.
Sending our prayers to Porter’s loved ones in this time of grief.
