The rapper Coolio has died at the age of 59.
His manager says he was visiting a friend's house in Los Angeles when he apparently suffered a heart attack.
Actress Michelle Pfeiffer is among those paying tributes saying she's "heartbroken".
He was best known for his 1990s hit, Gangsta's Paradise, which featured in her film of that year, Dangerous Minds.
His management say the US artist, whose real name is Artis Leon Ivey, "touched the world" with his talent and will be "missed profoundly."
Ah, no. RIP, Coolio. What a legend. https://t.co/cYhS36oQLn
