Kyly Clarke has shared a tribute to Shane Warne after his devastating death at age 52.
The cricketing legend died from a suspected heart attack on Friday after enjoying a lads' holiday to Thailand with a group of friends.
Celebrity pals, admirers and sports fans rushed to pay tribute to the Aussie, who was renowned for his headline-grabbing antics both on and off the pitch.
The 40-year-old ex-wife of cricketer Michael Clarke, 40, posted to her Instagram Stories on Saturday to pay tribute to Shane.
"So very very sad to hear this news this morning," the TV star wrote alongside a photo of Warne.
"I'm in shock, can't believe this just happened. Life can be so short, so unpredictable, hug tight and spend all the time you can with those you love," she added.
Kyly also took to Twitter to share some words after Shane's sad passing.
"Don't lose what you can't replace," she penned.
The former WAG rushed to Michael's side after the sad news of Shane's death.
Kyly looked incredibly downcast as she arrived at Michael's home while carrying coffees.
Michael and Shane Warne played cricket together for Australia and were great friends.
It comes after Elizabeth Hurley responded to the news of her former fiancé Shane's shock death.
The Austin Powers actress took to her Instagram page to share some of her favourite pictures of her time with the cricketer.
In a short but sweet message, Liz wrote: "I feel like the sun has gone behind a cloud forever. RIP my beloved Lionheart."
Her friend Elton John, who grew close to the sportsman through his friendship with Liz, said Friday was a 'tragic day for Australian cricket', as he also referenced the death of Rod Marsh, who died this week at the age of 74.
"Two legends passing is heartbreaking. I knew them both and played cricket with Rod in Perth. A very special and fearless man.
"Shane was a magical bowler and such huge fun. They were both Australians through and through, which made them so endearing.
"My sympathies to their families and loved ones."
On Friday the world of cricket was left reeling when news emerged that Shane had died at the age of 52.
