Sir Bob Geldof has paid tribute to his daughter Peaches Geldof in the wake of her death.

Emergency services were called out to Peaches’ home in Kent but were unable to save her although no indications have been given yet as to what caused her death.

The Boomtown Rats singer released a statement expressing his and his family’s deep sorrow over Peaches’ passing.

"We are beyond pain. She was the wildest, funniest, cleverest, wittiest and the most bonkers of all of us," he said.

"How is this possible that we will not see her again?"

Peaches’ husband of 19 months Thomas Cohen added: “My beloved wife Peaches was adored by myself and her two sons.

"I shall bring them up with their mother in their hearts everyday. We shall love her forever."

Kent Police have explained Peaches’ death as “unexplained and sudden”.
