The actress passed away on Sunday, July 10, at the age of 37 in her home.

The "How to Ruin Christmas" actress’s family, on Monday, released a statement thanking the public for their support following their loss.

In an official statement issued by Khethi Ngwenya and Tebogo Makola, the Lurayi family confirmed that the 37-year-old actress’s body was “found by her father, Freddie Mokoena, in her daughter’s bedroom.”

“No cause of death has been identified yet, but we are awaiting autopsy results and more information will be released at a later time,” read the statement.
