“Oh God. My heart is soooo unbelievably broken,” she posted. “I wanna thank all my tweeties for their prayers but God has chosen to take my sister Yvette home.”
“Moesha” star Brandy and her brother Ray J, who also appeared on the series, shared their condolences as well.
“Yvette Wilson was one of the most genuine and funny people I’ve ever met,” Ray J said in a statement. “The advice she gave me as a young actor to work hard and to believe in myself was very instrumental. She will truly be missed.”
