Suzanne died Sunday morning following a lengthy battle with breast cancer.

The beloved TV star was one day away from turning 77 years old.

After hearing the news, Khloe took to her Instagram stories to share a personal tribute to the Step By Step star.

The 39-year-old posted a series of text messages she sent to a friend excitedly showing off her new ThighMaster she was sent by Suzanne- who helped make the exercise product famous worldwide.

The pink device, which helps build thigh muscles, was personalized to Khloe and signed by Suzanne.

Khloe snapped a picture of the present and couldn’t contain her joy when she excitedly texted a picture of Suzanne’s gift to her pal Jane.

The Three’s Company star also inscribed the show’s famous theme song lyrics on the note: “Come and knock on my door.”

Khloe also included her own feelings in the caption, writing:

“This one hurts my heart. I love you Suzanne Somers. I’ll never forget your positive, loving outlook on life. Your sweet heart and gentle spirit.

“Rest, dance, smile in paradise.”

PASSED PEACEFULLY

Suzanne’s death was confirmed by Page Six following a hard-fought cancer battle.

She had been diagnosed with skin cancer when she was in her 30s, and then found herself fighting breast cancer in her 50s.

The actress died early Sunday morning, the star’s longtime publicist, R. Couri Hay, told the outlet.

They shared: “Suzanne Somers passed away peacefully at home in the early morning hours of October 15th. She survived an aggressive form of breast cancer for over 23 years.”

“Suzanne was surrounded by her loving husband Alan, her son Bruce, and her immediate family.”

According to the Step by Step actress’ publicist, Suzanne’s family was planning to reunite to celebrate her 77th birthday.

“Instead, they will celebrate her extraordinary life, and want to thank her millions of fans and followers who loved her dearly,” he told the outlet.

“A private family burial will take place this week, with a memorial to follow next month.”

A source shared with the outlet that the longtime star passed away next to her husband, Alan Hamel.

LOOKING TO THE FUTURE

Suzanne seemed optimistic about the future in her final Instagram post.

Her last message was shared just hours before the acting legend’s death was announced.

The Three’s Company star began her birthday month with a celebratory message for her fans.

“Good morning!!! It’s October which means, it’s my birthday month!!” she shared excitedly. “So many exciting things happening.”

In the comments section, fans shared their sympathy.

“I’m so sorry to hear of the loss of the beautiful (Suzanne) – I loved her when I was a kid, and loved watching her videos here on IG as an adult,” one person reminisced. “Her beautiful smile and laughter will be missed.”

Another added: “I’m so sorry to hear about Suzanne. She was an icon.”

As a third echoed: “I am so very sorry for her whole family! I will miss her podcasts, her beautiful smile, her wit, her laughter. She has touched my life in such a positive way I feel like I lost a good friend.”
