Kerry Katona warns fans not to 'take life for granted' as friend tragically dies

Kerry Katona has shared the sad news of her friend's heartbreaking death.

The former Atomic Kitten star and TV personality took to Instagram to post pictures of her close pal Lauren who she revealed had died "far too young". In a emotional tribute to her friend, she wrote: "This brave, beautiful mother, wife, daughter, sister and the strongest person I've ever known, lost her fight far too young.

"She fought for the last two years soo hard and was so determined to make it to 2024 and she did. So many funny and amazing memories we have shared over the years since she was a young girl." Kerry added: "I'll never forget laughing our a**e off watching Love Actually to Hugh Grant dancing. We must've watched it 1000 times. We love you so much and we're going to miss you so much Lauren. Rest in peace beautiful angel. Don't take life for granted people."

Fans of the TV personality shared their support as one wrote: "Thinking of you Kerry Katona sorry for you loss," while another said: "So sorry Kerry sending you so much love."

Meanwhile, Kerry recently opened up about her plans to start a new life in London with partner Ryan Mahoney and her children after previously considering a move overseas to Spain. Writing in her New magazine column, she said: "I'm feeling a bit conflicted right now about our move. The plan was to move to Spain in July but I've been working so much in London recently that it's difficult to know what to do. I'm barely ever at home in Cheshire because of travelling down south. It makes me wonder if we should be relocating to London rather than Spain." Kerry currently lives in a £2 million Cheshire mansion.

Shed added: "It's frustrating when you have a nice home and never in it. But DJ loves school and doesn't want to leave, so that makes me feel guilty. We're undecided at the moment." Kerry has five children from previous relationships, Molly Marie McFadden, 22, Lilly-Sue McFadden, 21, Heidi Croft, 16, Maxwell Croft, 14, and Dylan-Jorge Kay, nine.
