Diddy is still reeling over the death of his ex-girlfriend and mother of his children, Kim Porter

"Diddy is devastated and shocked. He and Kim were still very close friends and co-parents even though their romantic relationship didn’t work," a source told PEOPLE hours after the unfortunate news broke. "They were still a family."

On Thursday (November 15), the actress was pronounced dead at the scene when officers responding to an emergency dispatch call as a patient in cardiac arrest discovered Porter non-responsive in her home in Toluca Lake, California. She was 47.

No cause of death has been determined at this time. Sources, however, told TMZ the former model was being treated with "Saline and vitamins" for an illness she had been battling — "either the flu or pneumonia" — for several weeks before she died.

Porter and Diddy held a widely-publicized relationship in the '90s that spanned over a decade. Their on-again, off-again romance began in 1994 until they broke up for the last time in 2007.

During the period of their romance, the former couple welcomed three children: a son, Christian Combs (1998), and twin girls Jessie James and D'Lila (2006). Porter is also survived by her eldest child, a son named Quincy, from her previous relationship with Al B. Sure!

Rihanna, Drake, Cardi B, and many more musicians have since mourned Porter's memory on social media with touching tributes.
