Kirstie Alley, the two-time Emmy-winning actress who starred in the hit television sitcom "Cheers", died Monday after a battle with cancer.
She was 71, reports AFP.
"We are sad to inform you that our incredible, fierce and loving mother has passed away after a battle with cancer, only recently discovered," her children Lillie Price Stevenson and William True Stevenson said in a statement on Twitter.
"Our mother's zest and passion for life, her children, grandchildren and her many animals, not to mention her eternal joy of creating, were unparalleled and leave us inspired to live life to the fullest just as she did."
Kirstie Alley received a second Emmy for her role in the television film "David's Mother."
She also starred in the 1989 romantic comedy film "Look Who's Talking" -- as well as its two sequels -- alongside John Travolta.
