Burrell’s official cause of death has not been confirmed. News of the TV personality’s death broke on Tuesday after she was reportedly found unresponsive in her Brooklyn home.
“Anne was a beloved wife, sister, daughter, stepmother, and friend — her smile lit up every room she entered,” her family said in a statement on Tuesday. “Anne’s light radiated far beyond those she knew, touching millions across the world. Though she is no longer with us, her warmth, spirit, and boundless love remain eternal.”
