Ru Paul has paid tribute to Chi Chi DeVayne's "kind and beautiful soul".
A former contestant on Ru Paul's Drag race has died at age 34.
Drag queen Chi Chi DeVayne, whose non-stage name was Zavion Davenport, had been in hospital for pneumonia.
Last week she had posted on Instagram saying she was in hospital for a chronic condition - the second time this year.
"Keep me in your prayers," she said in a video message to her fans. "I'll be back soon."
Ru Paul paid tribute to DeVayne, saying that he was "heartbroken" to learn of her death.
"I am so grateful that we got to experience her kind and beautiful soul," he said in a statement, posted on the show's Twitter account. "She will be dearly missed, but never forgotten. May her generous and loving spirit shine down on us all."
Former contestants and fans of the show also paid tribute to DeVayne.
DeVayne appeared on season eight of the show, as well as season three of Ru Paul's Drag Race All Stars.
