As we previously reported, a family member announced that she had battled colon cancer and that she was first diagnosed earlier this year. The website also reports that Natalie was in hospice care during her final days and was surrounded by loved ones as she transitioned.
Fellow actress Holly Robinson Peete was the first person to share the news on social media. In a tweet, Holly wrote: “Just absolutely decimated by this news … Actress Natalie Desselle, a shining star, passed away this morning. I met her when my mother ran her. She will be so missed … send prayers to her children and her husband. “
Shortly after, an official statement was posted on Natalie’s Instagram account confirming the sad news.
The statement read: “It is with an extremely heavy heart that we share the loss of our beautiful Natalie this morning. She was a bright light in this world. A queen. An extraordinary mother and wife. Her varied career has touched so many and she will be loved forever. Of course, we grieve and process this profound loss and thank you in advance for respecting our privacy during this extremely difficult time. “
We would like to express our condolences to Natalie’s family.
