Selena Gomez and Katy Perry's make-up artist Jake Bailey has died unexpectedly.

Bailey's body was discovered by his assistant at his Los Angeles home on Friday. Emergency services were called to the scene, but the 37-year-old could not be revived.

Details about the tragedy have not been released, but an autopsy is expected to be conducted by the LA County Coroner.

Bailey, who also worked as a photographer, was best known for his work with Gomez and Perry, and helped take care of the Firework singer's look for the 2015 Super Bowl Halftime Show in February.

He also styled the likes of Mariah Carey, Katie Holmes, Kyra Sedgwick and Jenna Dewan Tatum, while his clients have also included Nina Dobrev, Paris Hilton and Lea Michele.

Shameless star Emmy Rossum has taken to Twitter to mourn the loss of her pal.

"I am gutted to hear of my friend Jake's passing," she writes. "I saw him on Sunday, we flew together on a plane. He made me laugh as always."

Actress Octavia Spencer adds, "My thoughts and prayers are with those who knew and loved #JakeBailey."

I am absolutely devastated today by the passing of my dear friend @ByJakeBailey. The most loyal, beautiful soul in every way. I love you😓
