Keisha Nash Whitaker, the ex-wife of actor Forest Whitaker, has died at the age of 51, following a battle with anorexia.

The former couple's daughter True Whitaker, 25, confirmed the tragic news on her Instagram account Thursday, calling her 'the most beautiful woman in the world' in a heartbreaking post, but did not elaborate on the cause of death. 

A source tells DailyMail.com that Nash-Whitaker died earlier this week after being in and out of hospital for the past few months with intestinal problems, following a years-long battle with anorexia.
