Well, today is definitely a depressing day in the celebrity world: Peaches Geldof, the daughter of musician Bob Geldof and the late model Paula Yates, was found dead in her home in England this afternoon. She was 25 years old. 

According to The New York Daily News, Peaches was found dead by the British police after a call was made for someone concerned about "the welfare of a woman." 

Police are calling her death "unexplained and sudden." 

According to USA Today, Geldof released the following statement to the media immediately following his daughter's death: "Peaches has died. We are beyond pain. She was the wildest, funniest, cleverest, wittiest and the most bonkers of all of us. Writing 'was' destroys me afresh. What a beautiful child. How is this possible that we will not see her again? How is that bearable?" 

The statement was signed by Bob, his partner Jeanne, and Peaches' sisters Fifi, Pixie, and Tiger Lily (whose real father was the late INXS frontman Michael Hutchence).

Geldof wrote a magazine column for the U.K. edition of Elle Girl, starting with its April 2004 issue and continuing until the magazine folded in October 2005. From age 14-17 she wrote a weekly socio-political column for The Daily Telegraph, and wrote numerous articles for The Guardian.

Geldof wrote and presented her own documentary TV programme, Peaches Geldof: Teenage Mind, in 2005, which was followed up with Peaches Geldof: Teen America, which aired on Sky One in the U.K. on 1 March 2006. In 2006, Geldof was placed at number seven in the Tatler's list of Top Ten Fashion Icons for the year, the youngest person on the list. In 2007, readers of FHM voted her the 53rd sexiest woman in the world.

In 2009 Peaches was signed to a six-figure modelling deal to become the face of the Miss Ultimo collection. Michelle Mone, the head of Ultimo underwear said at the time, "Peaches was the perfect choice for this campaign. She's young, edgy with lashings of style." The collection was launched at the Debenhams department store in Oxford Street in May 2009.

Aside from her father and sisters, Peaches is survived by her husband, Thomas Cohen, and their two sons.
