Tina Turner shares heartbreaking tribute to her son Ronnie after he passed away

Tina Turner has suffered yet another heartbreaking tragedy.

Her youngest son, Ronnie Turner, passed away suddenly outside of his home on Thursday at the age of 62.

Taking to Instagram following her loss, the 83-year-old singer paid tribute to her "beloved son" – who she shared with Ike Turner – in a heartbreaking post.

Alongside a black-and-white photo of herself, the 'The Best' hitmaker wrote: "Ronnie, you left the world far too early.

"In sorrow I close my eyes and think of you, my beloved son."

Tina gave birth to Ronnie in 1960, two years after welcoming her first child Craig with Raymond Hill.

She also adopted Ike’s two sons, Ike Jr and Michael, from a previous marriage.

Ronnie famously joined his mum on screen in the 1993 biopic, What’s Love Got To Do With It, but kept himself mostly out of the spotlight.

Ronnie’s cause of death has not been made clear.
