VICE Principals actress Kimberly Hébert Gregory has died at the age of 52, her ex-husband has confirmed.
The star from Houston, Texas, who is best known for her role as school principal Dr Belinda Brown in the 2016 HBO sitcom, died on Friday.
Kimberley also played Ms Davora in The Big Bang Theory, Deborah Curzon on Grey's Anatomy, and Better Call Saul's Kyra Hay.
She has also been in Showtime's drama 'The Chi' and the 2019 romance film Five Feet Apart.
Other notable appearances include Brooklyn Nine Nine, Two and a Half Men, and Gossip Girl.
"Kimberly Hébert Gregory You Were Brilliance Embodied," her ex-husband Chester Gregory wrote in a touching tribute on Instagram.
Gregory, with whom Kimberley has one son, reflected on how her spirit will live on through their child and thanked her for the lessons she taught them.
"You Taught Us Lessons In Courage, In Artistry, In Resilience, And In How To Keep Showing Up, Even When Life Demanded More Than Its Share," he wrote.
"Through Our Best, Through Our Greatest Challenges, What Remained Was Love, Respect, And A Bond No Storm Could Break."
"So Much More Than Ex-Wife, You Were My Friend. Our Son, The Song We Wrote Together, Is The Living Echo Of Your Light," he continued.
"Through Him, Your Brilliance Will Never Fade. Through Him, Your Laughter Will Always Resound.
"Thank You, Kimberly, For Every Chapter We Shared. Your Story Was Never Defined By The Battle, But By The Beauty You Carried Through It.
"Rest In Power, Rest In Peace, Rest In The Eternal Knowing That You Are Loved, Always. Kim… You Did Good."
Her cause of death has not been revealed.
Fellow Vice Principals actor Walton Goggins called his co-star a "true powerhouse" with infectious energy who will be sorely missed.
"We lost one of the best yesterday… one of the best I've ever worked with. Kimberly Hébert Gregory," he said.
"I had the honor… the good fortune of getting to know, getting to spend months working with this Queen on Vice Principals. She made me laugh like no other.
"You will be missed, my friend. As much as you know."
Fellow Vice Principals star Busy Phillips replied to the Instagram post saying she was "devastated" by the news.
"She was a light and a force," the actress wrote.
