Gok Wan has penned an emotional message on Instagram confirming his best friend Ali - who he spent time with earlier this year - has passed away.

Alongside a video of his favourite moments with Ali, he wrote: "After many years of fighting, Ali has finally ended her battle and is now at peace, resting with the stars.

Ali passed away today with her family by her side. Her wonderful son, Tash, who she loved with all her might, reassured us Ali was not in pain and comfortable. "Ali was the smartest, most courageous, sensitive and kind person any one of us could have had the privilege to meet.

In my eyes, she was simply perfect. We spent many years preparing for this moment but no amount of talks or planning could have prepared me for this overwhelming pain. "I miss her so much already.
