Chi Chi’s unexpected death was announced on Thursday.
In the weeks before she died, Chi Chi was admitted to hospital in July for suspected kidney failure.
The star lived with scleroderma, a condition in which the body’s immune system attacks organs, blood vessels and tissues.
On August 15, Chi Chi took to Instagram to tell fans that she was back in the hospital, asked everyone to pray for her and said: “I’ll be back soon.”
After the tragedy RuPaul, the founder of the show, broke his silence on her death.
“I am heartbroken to learn of the passing of Chi Chi DeVayne. I am so grateful that we got to experience her kind and beautiful soul,” he shared.
“She will be dearly missed, but never forgotten. May her generous and loving spirit shine down on us all.
“On behalf of VH1, World of Wonder and the cast and crew of ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race,’ I extend my deepest sympathy – from our family to hers.”
