Peaches Geldof was found dead.

The 25-year-old mother-of-two, the second eldest daughter of musician Sir Bob Geldof and Paula Yates, passed away Monday afternoon, April 7.

Police were called to an address near Wrotham, Kent, England, after someone expressed concern for the welfare of a young woman.

The model was later pronounced dead by South East Coast Ambulance Service.

A spokesperson for Kent Police said: "At this stage, the death is being treated as unexplained and sudden."

Peaches has two sons—Astala, who is set to turn two on April 21, and Phaedra, whose first birthday will be on April 24—with her husband Thomas Cohen.

The blonde beauty married the lead singer of the South East London band S.C.U.M on 8 September 2012 at a church in Davington, where her mother's funeral took place almost 14 years ago.

Peaches's mother Paula died of a drug overdose in September 2000 when she was just 11.

During an interview with Elle magazine in 2012, she admitted she was still coming to terms with the loss.

She said: "I remember the day my mother died, and it's still hard to talk about it. I just blocked it out.

"I went to school the next day because my father's mentality was 'keep calm and carry on.'

"So we all went to school and tried to act as if nothing had happened. But it had happened.

"I didn't grieve. I didn't cry at her funeral.

"I couldn't express anything because I was just numb to it all.

"I didn't start grieving for my mother properly until I was maybe 16."

Peaches was previously married to rock musician Max Drummey but they separated in 2009 after a six-months.

BOB GELDOF IN PAIN. Bob Geldof paid tribute to his daughter Peaches Geldof.

In a statement, the 62-year-old Irish musician said: "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?

"We loved her and will cherish her forever.

"How sad that sentence is. Tom and her sons Astala and Phaedra will always belong in our family, fractured so often, but never broken."

Peaches's husband Tom also released the following statement:

"My beloved wife Peaches was adored by myself and her two sons Astala and Phaedra and I shall bring them up with their mother in their hearts every day."
