Taking to her Instagram handle on Friday, the 55-year-old TV personality paid heartbreaking tribute to a houseguest close to her heart.

She further wrote, "Last night God brought her home. Rest In Peace dear Mickey. I will see you again on the other side in eternity."

"I pray the good Lord comforts and heals your family and loved ones as we grieve your passing. Amen," added the reality TV host.
