Actress and model Kimmarie Johnson, known for her appearances on "Beverly Hills, 90210" and in the film "Dude, Where's My Car?," has died. She was 50.
In a statement to ABC News on Thursday, her niece, Rhonda Scott, confirmed Johnson's death.
"She radiated a light so strong and bright, people who came in contact with her felt nothing but positive energy," the statement read. "We will miss her tremendously and will continue to honor her life forever."
Scott told ABC News that Johnson died Wednesday, Nov. 4, after she was taken to Cedars-Sinai Hospital, where doctors diagnosed her with what she described as a "heart aneurysm condition."
An aneurysm occurs when a weakened area of an artery wall bulges outward. Aneurysms can develop in different parts of the body, including the aorta, the main artery that carries blood from the heart to the rest of the body, according to the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute.
Johnson's official cause of death has not been confirmed
