Sir Bob Geldof's daughter Peaches has died aged 25.
The body of the mother of two was found at her home in Kent earlier today.
Tonight a devastated Sir Bob said: "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."
Peaches had two sons with her second husband Thomas Cohen, the lead singer of the rock band SCUM.
Tonight, Thomas said: "My beloved wife Peaches was adored by myself and her two sons Astala and Phaedra and I shall bring them up with their mother in their hearts everyday. We shall love her forever. Thomas Astala and Phaedra Geldof-Cohen"
Earlier Kent Police said: "Police were called at 1.35pm on 7 April 2014 to an address near Wrotham following a report of concern for the welfare of a woman. A woman aged 25 was pronounced dead by South East Coast Ambulance Service.
"At this stage, the death is being treated as an unexplained sudden death. Officers are working to establish the circumstances around the death."
Peaches was the daughter of Sir Bob and the late Paula Yates.
Celebrities were quick to pay tribute to Peaches, taking to the social media site Twitter when the news broke.
Even if you think you've got it all figured out, some things still can't be explained or understood. Two beautiful children. RIP Peaches
