Outside of music, Natina dabbled in acting and made appearances in Bring It On with Gabrielle Union (pictured above) and "V.I.P." with Pamela Anderson. Natina is survived by her 10-year-old son Tren Brown, with rapper Kurrupt.

*UPDATE* Natina's two groupmates, Brandi Williams & Shamari Fears-Devoe (pictured above) have released a statement. Here it is in full:

On Behalf of Blaque and the entire Left Eye Music Family,

"We are devastated by the loss of our group member, sister and friend Natina Reed. Because of the enormous support of Blaque fans and our love for each another, Blaque officially reunited this fall and we were in the process of working on a new album and a reality show. Natina continuously embodied the pioneering spirit of Blaque and her undeniable creativity touched the hearts of fans everywhere. Natina was a mother, sister, accomplished songwriter, artist and friend. We ask for your prayers at this time for Natina's family. She will forever be missed and her global influence eternally felt. We thank God for the experiences we shared."

Neither Natina's family nor Kurrupt have released statements yet about her death.
