Gok Wan has confirmed his best friend Ali has died.
Fashion icon Gok often posted photos of himself and Ali, who also went by the name Fanny McPhee. Ali was battling stage four breast cancer and was last seen with Gok in February.
Taking to social media on Tuesday, Gok, 49, shared a montage of himself and Ali's precious moments alongside a lengthy caption. The TV star wrote: "After many years of fighting, Ali has finally ended her battle and is now at peace, resting with the stars. Ali passed away today with her family by her side. Her wonderful son, Tash, who she loved with all her might, reassured us Ali was not in pain and comfortable."
He went on: "Ali was the smartest, most courageous, sensitive and kind person any one of us could have had the privilege to meet. In my eyes, she was simply perfect. We spent many years preparing for this moment but no amount of talks or planning could have prepared me for this overwhelming pain."
"I miss her so much already. Her wisdom. Her smile. Her naughtiness. Her kind touch. Her everything. Al my love," Gok added. "The very moment I met you I fell in love with you. We always said it was destiny that we should have met and I thank every happy thought that we did," reports OK!.

Fashion icon Gok often posted photos of himself and his friend Ali (PA)"Thank you for the best years of adventures and fun. Thank you for being every inch of you. You told me you were going to the stars and I believe you. I know that one day we will dance again, together in the skies.
"You showed the world what it means to be vulnerable yet strong. You showed every one of us how to be brave. You will never know how loved you are because that's the sweet and unselfish person you are. I miss you soo much. You used to tell me I am the love of your life. I used to tell you to shut up. I would do anything to hear you say that again."
Referring to the song playing over the video of his montage, Gok went on: "We both agreed this song is one of the best vocals ever sung. How lucky were we to share so much music together. You will forever be in every song I love. The night sky will always be brighter now that you are shining your beautiful light from the universe. Rest now my dear Fanny. I will see you in the music my love."
Alison Hammond was one of the first to send her love to Gok, writing beneath his post: "So sorry about your loss Gok , how lovely to have had a special friend like Ali . Love to you and her family and friends. Rip." Alexandra Burke added: "Sending you so much love xxxxx."
In February, Gok revealed he had seen Ali for the last time and that she was returning to Australia. He wrote on Instagram: "Fanny’s last night in London. Not many words left. I think we’ve said what we need to. Now we can just sit contently - that is the true beauty of friendship.
"My little heart is a tiny bit shattered today. Fanny is on her way back to OZ. We’ve had such a magical 2 months, time we never thought we’d have so thank you universe for making it happen."
