The soap opera world is in mourning.
Esta TerBlanche, who starred on All My Children in the late ’90s and early aughts, died July 18, her rep said. The actress was 51.
“It’s with a heavy heart that my friend and client Esta TerBlanche passed away Thursday of natural causes,” her rep, Lisa Rodrigo, announced on Facebook July 20. An autopsy report is pending.”
She continued, “I am still processing and in shock. Esta was a beautiful soul in and out. I was proud to know her and work with her. More to come in the days ahead. Thank you for the messages so far. If I haven’t gotten to you, I will soon. May she RIP with the angels that she is.”
The cause of the actress’ death was not revealed. TerBlanche died in her home in Los Angeles, according to County of Los Angeles Medical Examiner records obtained by E! News. A police spokesperson told E! News that authorities responded to the scene July 19, that there were no signs of foul play and that coroner is investigating the case.
TerBlanche was born in South Africa and began her acting career there in the ’90s, appearing on the bilingual soap opera Egoli: Place of Gold and hosting the children’s program K-T.V.
