Peaches Geldof, the TV presenter and writer, has died at the age of 25. She was found dead at her home in Kent on Monday afternoon.

The news was confirmed in a statement signed by her father Bob Geldof, his partner Jeanne and her sisters Fifi, Pixie and Tiger Geldof.

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

"Writing 'was' destroys me afresh. What a beautiful child. How is this possible that we will not see her again? How is that bearable?"

Cohen said in a statement, "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."
