Anne Burrell, Food Network host and celebrity chef, dies at 55

Anne Burrell, a celebrity chef and beloved Food Network host, died Tuesday morning at her home in Brooklyn, N.Y., according to her family. She was 55.

"Anne was a beloved wife, sister, daughter, stepmother, and friend — her smile lit up every room she entered," her family said in a statement. "Anne's light radiated far beyond those she knew, touching millions across the world. Though she is no longer with us, her warmth, spirit, and boundless love remain eternal."

The New York City Police Department told People that when officers arrived at about 7:50 a.m., Burrell was found “unconscious and unresponsive.” She was pronounced dead at the scene.

Burrell had performed in an improv comedy show in Brooklyn on Monday night and was "in great spirits" during and after the performance, according to the magazine.

The show was part of an improv comedy class Burrell was taking at Second City New York.
