Bob Geldof has released the following statement as tweeted by BBC's Rachel Kennedy:

Peaches has died. We are beyond pain. She was the wildest, funniest, cleverest, wittiest and the most bonkers of all of us.

Writing "was" destroys me afresh. What a beautiful child. How is this possible that we will not see her again? How is that bearable? We loved her and will cherish her forever. How sad that sentence is.

Tom and her sons Astala and Phaedra will always belong in our family, fractured so often, but never broken.

Bob, Jeanne, Fifi, Pixie and Tiger Geldof.

Peaches' husband Tom Cohen followed with: "My beloved wife Peaches was adored by myself and her two sons, I shall bring them up with their mother in their hearts everyday. We shall love her forever."

Peaches was reported dead this evening after being found by emergency services at an address in Kent. She was 25-years-old.

Lily Allen, Lauren Laverne, Ellie Goulding, Boy George, Davina McCall and more have been paying tribute to Peaches Geldof via Twitter.
