“You was a very special woman and a good friend always.”

The star’s friends and fans flooded the comments section to send Danniella love after her heartbreaking loss.

One person penned: “So sorry for your loss, Danniella, friends are so important in our lives. Sending so much love to you and all who are grieving. She was beautiful.”

Another said: “Hope you’re ok sending hugs,” and a third added: “Sending all my love and thoughts and the biggest hug xxx.”

It comes just days after Danniella was rushed to hospital for help after struggling with severe pain for days.

The 49-year-old arrived back in Portugal last week after undergoing major face surgery in Turkey and revealed her agony.

Danniella told her followers:  “Only I could land back in Portugal after surgery only to end up in hospital.

“The pain I’ve experienced is unreal, most frightening few days. Need it like a hole in the head, literally.”

The EastEnders icon went under the knife in Turkey earlier this month and shared the gory post operation photos exclusively with The Sun.

Sharing details of the procedure, Danniella said: “For the facial reconstruction I had a surgical thread lift where they put 1200 threads into my face.

“Then I had liposuction to remove fat from my body and into my cheeks and lips and to make my face more symmetrical. They also used it to align my nose. I had fat grafting on my chin and my jawline etched.”

It’s been a long time coming for Danniella who had been planning the surgery for years.
