In some tragic news, Jim Carrey's on/off girlfriend, 28 year old Irish woman Cathriona White, has reportedly died.

"Ms White was found at 8.40pm local time on Monday, September 28, at her home in Sherman Oaks." Los Angeles Assistant Chief Coroner Ed Winter said in a statement.

"The final cause of death has not been confirmed, pending an autopsy" Winter added.

She had recently tweeted saying “Signing off Twitter, I hope I have been a light to my nearest and dearest. [Love and peace] to yo all.”

She also posted a WB Yates poem on her instagram “Faeries, come take me out of this dull world, For I would ride with you upon the wind, Run on the top of the dishevelled tide, And dance upon the mountains like a flame.”

Cathriona had moved to LA to pursue a career as a makeup artist and had been dating Carrey (who has since released a statement regarding White's passing) on and off since 2012.

TMZ are reporting a law enforcement source who says the cause of death was an overdose.

We can't even begin to imagine what Cathriona's family and friends are going through.

Our thoughts are with them.

For anyone who found this awful news difficult to deal with, there are many incredible organisations who do superb work. Pieta House being just one of them
