Ashley Judd, Naomi's daughter, shared the news of her mother’s passing on Twitter, saying the cause of death was related to Judd's deteriorating mental health.
"Today we sisters experienced a tragedy," Judd wrote. "We lost our beautiful mother to the disease of mental illness. We are shattered. We are navigating profound grief and know that as we loved her, she was loved by her public. We are in unknown territory."
Naomi and Wynonna’s final televised performance was at the CMT Music Awards earlier this month.
