The actress who played the character Legless Suzi in American Horror Story: Freak Show has died.
FX network - which makes the popular series - paid tribute to 43-year-old Rose Siggins on Facebook, saying she was "beloved by everyone in the AHS family".
"She was a kind person, a loving mother and a very talented actor. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family and friends at this time," said the post.
Fans of the show also praised the actress, calling her "an amazing woman full of strength and determination".
"Rose you were an inspiration to so many," posted Danny Ray Seagraves.
"You showed that a disability could not get you down. Your character was one of my favourites in AHS. May you Rest in Peace."
The actress died in Denver on Saturday and one of her agents, James Mullen, said more details would be released soon.
TMZ reported she died after going contracting an infection following kidney stone surgery.
Siggins was born with rare genetic disorder Sacral Agenesis, which meant her legs were severely deformed.
They were amputated when she was two and she had prosthetic legs until she was a teenager, when she refused to wear them and turned up for school on a skateboard.
She was the first person with her condition to give birth and had two children.
When her mother was diagnosed with terminal cancer she also took care of her brother, who she described as "mentally challenged", and her father, who was in the early stages of Alzheimer’s.
A Gofundme page has been set up by Mr Mullen to cover "final expenses and the continuing support of her children".
