A statement posted to the Guns N' Roses guitarist's Instagram reads, "Lucy-Bleu was an incredibly talented artist, a passionate dreamer, and a charming, lovable, sweet soul."

"The family asks for privacy at this time and requests that social media speculation be kept at a minimum as they grieve and process this devastating loss," the statement continues.
