Diamond died at her North Carolina home in the presence of her sister, Silk, who was born Herneitha Rochelle Hardaway Richardson.
Diamond’s death, according to the former president, was “totally unexpected.”
As some of former President Donald Trump’s first and most vocal supporters, the conservative couple gained notoriety on social media by contributing to countless viral moments supporting Trump during the 2016 election season.

Trump made a statement about the terrible news on his social media site, Truth Social:
“Really bad news for Republicans and frankly, ALL Americans. Our beautiful Diamond, of Diamond and Silk, has just passed away at her home in the State she loved so much, North Carolina. Silk was with her all the way, and at her passing. There was no better TEAM anywhere, or at any time! Diamond’s death was totally unexpected, probably her big and precious HEART just plain gave out. Rest In Peace our Magnificent Diamond, you will be greatly missed!”
Rest In Peace, Lynette. You will always be a Diamond to us.
