Irish radio presenter, Natasha Gillies, has died suddenly while on holiday abroad.
Earlier this week, the 46-year-old broadcaster passed away while on holiday in Spain.
A GoFundMe page was set up by her family to raise funds to bring her remains home and lay her to rest beside her father.
Ms Gillies was a presenter on Dublin City FM for several years, hosting The Irish Business Show where she interviewed entrepreneurs and business figures.
The Dublin native also ran Diamond Events, an award-winning events, entertainment, and party hire agency for over 20 years. She was also an ambassador for the Dublin Chamber of Commerce.
The fundraising page reads: "It is with a broken heart that we share the news that our beloved sister/mother/daughter/friend, Natasha, passed away unexpectedly in Spain.
After nearing its €4,500 target, the family confirmed that they have arranged for Tasha’s remains to return home.
"Thank you to every single person from the bottom of our hearts. Tasha is coming home."
"Tasha was a bright light to everyone who knew her. She was kind, funny, loved adventures, and was passionate about her business and being on stage making people smile. Right now, our family is facing the heartbreaking task of bringing her home to Ireland so we can lay her to rest among the people who loved her most. The costs of international repatriation, funeral arrangements, and travel are significant, and we are asking for help."
