Former 'Australia's Next Top Model' judge and TV personality Charlotte Dawson was found dead at her home in a Sydney suburb on Saturday.

Police said there were no suspicious circumstances surrounding the 47-year-old's death, according to The Sunday Telegraph.

Russell Crowe, who had been friends with Dawson since they were teenagers, reportedly broke down in tears while at a restaurant when he was told of her passing.

The actor later tweeted 'Charley D...Just don't understand. There's not enough kind souls as it is. Rest in peace.'

Dawson, who was born in New Zealand, had a long history of depression.

The stunning blond was hospitalized in 2012 after Twitter trolls launched a vicious cyber bullying campaign that drove her to attempt to commit suicide. She had become an outspoken anti-bullying advocate.

Dawson's tragic death sparked an outpouring of grief on social media.

'Shocked and saddened to hear of Charlotte Dawson's death,' New Zealand prime minister John Key tweeted.

Perry also posted a picture of the two of them on Instagram with the caption 'WE LOST A BEAUTIFUL, BRIGHT, SHINING GIRL TODAY... REST IN PEACE MY SWEETHEART...I LOVE YOU.'
