Actress has lost her battle to cancer

Daisy Lewellyn has lost her battle to cancer.

The 36-year-old Blood, Sweat and Heels star passed away after fighting a rare liver cancer, E! News can confirm. She was best known as a style expert and reality TV personality. She was also an author and an editor for magazines like Glamour, InStyle and Essence.

"Our almighty God, knowing all, quietly called home to eternal rest, our beloved Lauren Grace Lewellyn on Friday," her family said in a statement to E! News. "Lauren died of a rare form of liver cancer ('cholangiocarcinoma') at the tender age of 36 but she left this world in peace, surrounded by her family and friends. We loved her deeply and will miss her warmth, infectious-joy and triumphant spirit."

"Lauren touched so many people in both her professional and personal life and her legacy of love lives on," the statement said. "Her faith and trust in God will continue to keep us all strong as we cherish her memory."

Lewellyn revealed she was diagnosed with cancer in February 2015. During an interview with website Madame Noir she said, "It was kind of shocking," she explained. "But also when I was diagnosed, I remember some of my immediate thoughts being like, 'Well you know what? I'm not afraid to die.'"

She continued, "It wasn't like I wanted to die, and it wasn't like I didn't want to live because I absolutely love my life and I've always loved my life, but they told me it was stage three cancer. I was like, 'Well, if it's my time to go, I'm okay with it.'"

Bravo released the following statement to E! News: "We are devastated to learn that Daisy Lewellyn from Bravo's Blood, Sweat & Heels has passed away this morning after a battle with a rare form of Cancer.   Daisy passed on in peace and filled with joy, surrounded by her family and friends.  We are all saddened to lose this wonderful woman.   Our thoughts and deepest sympathy is expressed."

I literally dreamed of her last nite... perhaps it was as she was saying goodbye to all of us. The shock is wearing off and full blown grief is setting in. I cannot believe Daisy is gone. My heart breaks for her family. Her light and spirit will be sorely missed. ???
