Jamie Foxx is devastated following the death of his younger sister. The actor said his "heart is shattered into a million pieces" as he shared the tragic news that his sibling DeOndra Dixon has died at the age of 36. Oscar-winner Jamie, 52, described his sister, who had Down's Syndrome, as "beautiful" and "loving".

Paying tribute to DeOndra on Instagram, he shared a string of gorgeous pictures of her and of them together. He wrote: "My heart is shattered into a million pieces... my beautiful loving sister Deondra has transitioned... I say transitioned because she will always be alive... anyone who knew my sis... knew that she was a bright light... I can’t tell you how many times we have had parties at the house where she has got on the dance floor and stolen the show... even gave her boyfriend @chrisbrownofficial a run for his money.
