CONSPIRACY theorist David Icke's daughter Kerry has died aged 48 after a "stoic battle against a long illness".

Icke, 71, revealed the devastating news on X, formerly Twitter, on Monday, telling fans his "wonderful beautiful daughter" had passed on despite fighting as hard as she could.

Kerry died in hospital on the Isle of Wight, surrounded by her family and her boyfriend Ede.

She is survived by her two teenage children and her family.

Icke's tribute prompted an outpouring of sympathetic messages from fans, and has been liked more than 17,000 times.

The former footballer tweeted: "My wonderful, beautiful, daughter Kerry passed away today in hospital on the Isle of Wight after a stoic battle against a long illness. She was just 48. 

"She left this world surrounded by her family and her fantastic boyfriend, Ede, who nursed her magnificently to the end. Kerry leaves two teenage children and a family who loved her so much."

He continued: "She was a one-off, a fiercely independent, outspoken, unique expression of the All That Is, and there will never be another quite the same. 

"We know she is only a heartbeat away, a frequency vibration, and she will be around us still until we meet again in another realm beyond this madhouse reality that she saw through with a laser focus. 

"We are all so proud of you, my darling, our Divine Spark. Never forget that. WE will never forget YOU."

Kerry's younger brother Gareth, who presents alternative current affairs news programmes online alongside brother Jaymie, added: "Today my big sister Kerry passed away after a battle with illness. Always headstrong and doing things her way, she kept this to herself for over a year. 

"We were so close in our younger years but unfortunately life, parenthood and geographical distance kept us from seeing each other as much as we should have in recent times.

"Me and my brother raced down today and managed to get there, and hold her hand, along with all her immediate family, at the end. I will miss her terribly, but I know this isn't forever, only for now. 

"I am sure there will be kind messages beneath this post, so let me apologise in advance for my lack of acknowledgement, they are appreciated by all of us, but I need to check out for a while. 

"I hope you understand. Til the next time, Whiz. X."

Jaymie shared a photograph of himself with his sister in his own post, writing: "Goodnight big sister. I love you. See you again one day. Xxx."

Fans were also united in their heartbreak as they paid tribute online.

One fan said: "My Dad passed away 4 years ago today and there isn't a day goes by without thinking about him. She may be gone from this earth but but she will always be with you in spirit. RIP Kerry."

Back in 2020, Twitter permanently banned conspiracy theorist Icke over false claims he made about coronavirus on the platform.

A spokesman for the social media platform said that the then 68-year-old had violated its rules regarding misinformation.

The move followed YouTube and Facebook terminating David's accounts in the same year.

The former footballer has made controversial unproven claims on several internet platforms, most recently about Covid.
