Suzanne Somers is dead at 76, according to her longtime publicist R. Couri Hay.
The “Three’s Company” actress died in her home while surrounded by her family in the early hours of Sunday, which was the eve of her 77th birthday.
“Her family was gathered to celebrate her 77th birthday on October 16th. Instead, they will celebrate her extraordinary life, and want to thank her millions of fans and followers who loved her dearly,” Hay said in a statement on behalf of Somers’ family.

It wasn’t immediately clear how Somers passed, but Hay said the actress “survived an aggressive form of breast cancer for over 23 years.”
Somers will be buried in a private ceremony sometime this week and a memorial will follow next month, according to Hay.
