Former "Wild 'N Out" star Jacky Oh has died. She was 32.

The popular comedy series announced the death of Oh, whose real name was Jacklyn Smith, on social media Thursday.

"We are deeply saddened by the passing of Jacklyn Smith, known to the world as Jacky Oh, a talented Wild N’ Out family member whose impact will be forever treasured and missed," the statement from a BET Media Group spokesperson read. "Jacky Oh was a loving friend and beloved colleague of the Wild N’ Out cast throughout five seasons. More importantly, she was a tremendous mother to three beautiful children."

"Wild 'N Out" is an improv and hip-hop-inspired comedy sketch show created by host Nick Cannon in 2005. Now in its 19th season, it airs on VH1.

Oh’s cause of death is not clear at this time, but the Los Angeles Times and TMZ reported that a since-deleted social media post said she was in Miami to undergo a “mommy makeover” surgery.

Oh was a longtime partner of comedian, rapper and actor DC Young Fly, who stars in "Wild 'N Out." They shared three children, the youngest of whom was born last year.

Oh documented her life as a mother on social media. Her last YouTube post, published just days ago, featured her taking her children to watch "The Little Mermaid."

Fans and celebrities have shared their condolences on social media.

“My heart hurt for them beautiful babies,” Grammy-winning rapper Cardi B wrote on Instagram.

Rapper Ludacris commented with a prayer hands emoji on DC Young Fly’s most recent Instagram post: “Lifting You Up In Love.”

"So in shock over this one! I’ve been following her for years...my deepest condolences to DC & the kids and all who truly loved her," one fan commented on Oh's YouTube page.
