Morgan Freeman has today paid tribute to his granddaughter E’Dena Hines after she was found dead in the early hours of Sunday morning.
It has been reported that the 33-year-old, who is the granddaughter of Morgan’s first wife Jeanette Adair Bradshaw, suffered from stab wounds and was discovered just before 3am local time in New York.
She was admitted to a nearby hospital where she was later pronounced dead.
A 30-year-old male was reportedly arrested at the scene.
“The world will never know her artistry in talent, and how much she had to offer,” Freeman said in a statement.
“Her friends and family were fortunate enough to have known what she meant as a person.
“Her star will continue to shine bright in our hearts, thoughts and prayers. May she rest in peace.”
