Traci Braxton, a singer, actor and television personality as well as the sister of Toni and Tamar Braxton, passed away on Saturday morning, March 12, after a battle with esophageal cancer.
"We have come to a time where we must inform the public that after a year of privately undergoing a series of treatment for esophageal cancer our beloved Traci Braxton has gone on to glory," her husband Kevin Surratt told TMZ.
Traci's older sister, Toni, paid tribute to her sister on social media.
"It is with the utmost regret that we inform you of the passing of our sister, Traci," Toni wrote along with a picture of the Braxton family on Instagram. "Needless to say, she was a bright light, a wonderful daughter, an amazing sister, a loving mother, wife, grandmother and a respected performer. We will miss her dearly."
"Traci passed this morning as the snow was falling, our angel is now a snowflake. We ask that you respect our privacy as we plan to send her home with love, celebrating her life. We are family forever," Toni added.
Braxton's debut solo album, Crash & Burn, was released in October 2014, preceded by the single "Last Call." She released another single "Perfect Time" in 2015, before later releasing her second studio album, On Earth, in 2018.
In 2011, Braxton and her sisters came together for the WE tv reality show "Braxton Family Values." She also acted in films such as Sinners Wanted (2018), All In (2019) and The Christmas Lottery (2020).
