Actress Gina Bellman has taken to Twitter in the wake of fashion designer L’Wren Scott’s death to question whether “women are getting the help they need with the menopause”.

L’Wren, the girlfriend of Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger, was found dead in her NYC apartment at around 10am local time on Monday 17 March.

Gina also appeared in TV series 'Ripper Street'

The New Zealand-born actress posted a series of tweets following the fashion designer’s unexpected death, adding that she often sees “amazing women” struggling to cope with the menopause and labelling it as a “taboo” subject.

Tributes to L’Wren have poured in online, with many celebs taking to Twitter to share their sadness at the unexpected and shocking news.
