Ivanka Trump is 'heartbroken' about the death of her mother, Ivana

Former first daughter Ivanka Trump said in her first public statement since the news of her mother Ivana's death that she is 'heartbroken' over her death. Ivana was 73 years old.

Ivanka Trump wrote on Instagram, along with old photos of Ivana Trump and herself, that she was "heartbroken" that her mother had died. "Mom was brilliant, funny, charming, and full of passion. She showed how to be strong, persistent, and determined in everything she did."

Ivana Trump, the ex-wife of former President Donald Trump and the mother of his children Ivanka, Eric, and Don Jr., died Thursday in her Manhattan home.

At 12:40 p.m., she was found at the bottom of a staircase in the house, and authorities think she had a heart attack. No one knows for sure what caused the death.

A person who is close to Ivanka Trump told The Post that she is "stunned" by the death of her mother.

Ivanka Trump posted on Instagram Thursday afternoon pictures of herself as a child hugging her mother, sitting next to her with her head on her shoulder, and giving her mother a kiss on the nose while she stands on the bed.

She also posted a picture of her mother, who used to be a model, wearing a bright yellow ski jacket and standing in front of snow-capped mountains.

Ivanka Trump wrote about her mother that she "lived life to the fullest" and never missed a chance to laugh or dance. "I will always miss her, and we will always keep her in our hearts."

Ivana Trump, born Ivana Marie Zelníčková, married Donald Trump in 1977. In 1992, they got a divorce, but she kept the last name of her ex-husband. Throughout her life, she had many jobs in the Trump family business.

The two got a messy divorce that was often in the news, but they were able to get over it and stay friends for years.
