Kim passed away on November 15, in her Los Angeles home. According to TMZ, it was around noontime that 911 was called to respond to the Toluca Lake House where she lived, and it was reported that she suffered from cardiac arrest. However, the publication also reported that she had been suffering from pneumonia prior to her cardiac arrest.

"This is unbelievable. When I first heard the news, I was angry that someone would play such a stupid [expletive] joke. They said you were in your room sleeping. Aoki and I rushed to your house to tell you to ‘get up and come your ass outside!’ But soon as i arrived I realized you would not come."

Kim left behind three children whom she shares with her ex, Diddy, who are all equally devastated about her death, especially since the two have kept a close bond and have done stellar jobs at co-parenting their kids.

"You are a great mama. Between us we have 8 kids who are all cousins. We are, and will always be-a family. I will look after yours and you will look after and guide us all. What a beautiful, loving, sassy soul to have lost. We love you forever. May God bless your journey. We will never stop crying for you"

Rest In Peace, Kim Porter.
