Actress and model Kimmarie Johnson died Nov. 4 at age 50.
Rhonda Scott, Johnson's niece, confirmed the death in a statement to ABC News on Thursday. Johnson was transported to Cedars-Sinai Hospital, where doctors diagnosed her with a heart aneurysm condition, according to Scott.
"She radiated a light so strong and bright, people who came in contact with her felt nothing but positive energy," Scott said. "We will miss her tremendously and will continue to honor her life forever."
The official cause of death has not yet been confirmed. An aneurysm is a weakened area of an artery wall that bulges outward, per the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute. Such conditions can develop in the aorta, the main artery carrying blood from the heart.
Johnson acted in a 1998 episode of Beverly Hills, 90210 as a character named Judy. Her film credits include the 2000 comedy Dude, Where's My Car?, which starred Ashton Kutcher and Seann William Scott. She also appeared in the television series V.I.P. and Wanda at Large.
Beyond acting, Johnson worked as a producer and model. She launched a skincare line called SkinGlow by Kimmarie. In August, she appeared on the cover of a digital edition of Grazia Slovenia magazine. Johnson attended the Los Angeles premiere of the Michael Jackson biopic Michael in April, a visit she shared on Instagram.
