    WWF star Chyna was found dead at 46 on April 20 and longtime friends and fellow wrestlers of hers are absolutely devastated over the news that she’s gone. Goldust, Nattie-By-Nature and more took to Twitter to express their sadness over the tragic news.

    Chyna‘s death comes as just a shock to her friends as it does to her fans. The former WWF star was found dead on Apr. 20 in her Redondo Beach, Calif., apartment after friends hadn’t “heard from [Chyna] for a few days.” Immediately. WWE stars tweeted how sweet and kind Chyna always was to them and that they can’t believe she’s gone.

    Chyana was found “unresponsive” in her bedroom, according to TMZ and her death is reportedly being investigated as a possible overdose. Prescription pill bottles were found at the scene but as of now there don’t appear to be any signs of foul play. Chyna was one of the top WWF stars and had made a lot of friends in the industry over the years. A statement on her Twitter account read: “It is with deep sadness to inform you today that we lost a true icon, a real life superhero. She will live forever in the memories of her millions of fans and all of us that loved her.” See the tweets below from fellow wrestlers like Goldust, Nattie by Nature and Total Divas.

    Rest easy baby girl! @ChynaJoanLaurer
