Unfortunately, the new year has already brought with it some heart-breaking celebrity deaths. In the early days of 2023, we’ve already lost three beloved celebrities: Earth, Wind & Fire drummer Fred White, Three 6 Mafia member Gangsta Boo, and rally car driver Ken Block. Their deaths came right after 2022 ended with a few shocking celebrity deaths in its last days, including legendary news anchor Barbara Walters, soccer legend Pelé, retired Pope Benedict XVI, Pointer Sisters member Anita Pointer, and Modest Mouse drummer Jeremiah White.
In the past year, the world was rocked by some massive deaths, including the passing of Queen Elizabeth II in September; before her death, she was the longest-reigning monarch in British history. Hollywood also lost many stars far too soon, including “Full House” star Bob Saget and beloved comedian Leslie Jordan. The music world was also rocked by the death of Migos rapper Takeoff and PnB Rock.
Ahead, these are the celebrities we’ve lost so far in 2023 and how their loved ones are remembering them after their deaths.
