Jade Goody has died in her sleep after battling cancer
The star died at 3.55am, her publicist Max Clifford said.
Her mother Jackiey Budden told Mr Clifford: "My beautiful girl is gone."
She later stood outside her home and asked for privacy as friends and family grieved the news.
The 27-year-old's body was taken from the home at shortly after 8am.
Mother's tribute to daughter
Ms Budden said: "Family and friends would like this privacy, at last, for mourning."
The distraught mother was wearing pyjamas with a coat over the top when she left the house.
Jade's friend Kevin Adams, who was dressed all in black, was visibly upset and declined to comment to reporters outside the home.
Later, two police officers arrived at the house.

Mr Clifford fought back tears as he broke the news this morning.
He said Jade's husband Jack Tweedand her mother Jackiey and were at her side.
Mr Adams was also there.
Mourners began laying flowers near to Ms Budden's home this morning.
"I think she's going to be remembered as a young girl who has, and who will, save an awful lot of lives," Mr Clifford said.
He was referring to how her public battle with cancer has raised awareness of the disease.
"She was a very, very brave girl," he told Sky News.
I think her upbringing, her past, the situation with her mum and her father. That sort of life story, to then be where she was - I suppose it's like a Cinderella story.The life and times of Jade Goody
"And she faced her death in the way she faced her whole life - full on, with a lot of courage."
He said it was "ironic" the 27-year-old - who had two young sons Bobby, five, and Freddie, four - had died on Mother's Day.
Mr Clifford said he hoped Jade's family would be left in peace to grieve.
Jade's final weeks were characterised, just as her life had been, by the intense glare of the media spotlight.
Jade was propelled to stardom in 2002 as a contestant on Big Brother 3.
