“We are deeply saddened to announce the passing of our beloved daughter, sister, and friend Erica Chantal Ash (1977-2024),” the statement reads. “After a long and courageous battle with cancer, she transitioned peacefully surrounded by her loved ones. Erica was an amazing woman and talented entertainer who touched countless lives with her sharp wit, humor, and genuine zest for life.
The statement continues, “Her memory will live eternally in our hearts. In honor of Erica’ [sic] memory, the family asks that any donations be made to the Susan G. Komen Cancer Foundation or the Breast Cancer Foundation of your choice. We are grateful for the kind expressions of love and support during this difficult time.”
Her legal representative also confirmed the news to DECIDER, requesting that everyone keep her family in prayer.

Comedian and TV host Loni Love also confirmed the news in a tribute on social media, where she wrote, in part, “Erica was talented and hilarious whether it was the show Survivor’s Remorse or Madtv she would put her all into her work. She would always just be there.. now she’s gone.. My sincere condolences to her family and fans 🙏🏾🙏🏾”
