The heir to the Johnson & Johnson fortune, Casey Johnson has died at just 30 years of age. She may be better known to some of you as Tila Tequila’s fiancé.

Her body was found on Monday at her LA home. The cause of death has not yet been revealed but foul play is not suspected. Reports suggest Johnson may have passed away some days ago.

In a statement released to the press, the Johnson family says it “is mourning its tragic loss, and asks for privacy during this very difficult time.”

Johnson had one daughter, Ava, whom she adopted from Kazakhstan in 2007.

Tequila has confirmed the reports via Twitter. She tweeted: “Everyone please pray 4 my Wifey Casey Johnson. She has passed away. Thank u for all ur love and support but I will be offline to be w family.”

Strangely she has continued to tweet and talk to reporters from TMZ and others. Personally if my fiancé had just died I’d probably wouldn’t be able to write my own name let alone tweet, but then I’m not Tila Tequila (thank God).

Perez Hilton, never one to shy away from a cat fight, has trotted in on his high horse to condemn Tequila for how she’s handling things, suggesting she’s simply seeking attention as opposes to genuinely mourning. He’s tweeted:

@OfficialTila There is more to life than getting publicity and clawing your way from the F list to the D list of fame! DEATH is real shit!

@officialtila You’re disgusting! Shame on you!

Ok everyone handles death differently but tweeting about it?!?

What is even stranger is that Tila had been fighting with Casey and hadn’t seen her or been able to make contact for a few days (TMZ). Tila had initially been under the impression that Casey was in a coma and not actually dead. What did she do? She tweeted: “I know u can feel me Casey! Dot let go! I’m almost home baby please hang on! We have a beautiful life planned out for us! I LOVE u! Hang on!”

Bizarre.

To add to the craziness, whilst she was out of contact with Casey (remember this was over New Years) she posted pictures of her ‘new gun’  and said: “Check out my Sig Saur P229 .40 Caliber! Looks Dashing W my 7carat Canary Diamond! Both REAL! POW!”

I mean that’s all Tila Tequila needs…a gun!
