"The World just lost a True Angel and Warrior Patriot for Freedom, Love, and Humanity! Please respect the privacy of Diamond's family! Memorial Ceremony TBA," the Diamond and Silk Twitter feed said Monday.

No cause of death was disclosed.

"Really bad news for Republicans and frankly, ALL Americans," Trump wrote on Truth Social Monday.

"Silk was with her all the way, and at her passing. There was no better TEAM anywhere, or at any time! Diamond's death was totally unexpected, probably her big and precious HEART just plain gave out. Rest In Peace our Magnificent Diamond, you will be greatly missed!"
