CNN and MSNBC legal analyst Midwin Charles has died, her family announced on Tuesday.

She was 47.

The cause of death has not been revealed publicly.

Colleagues, including MSNBC's Joy Reid, paid tribute to Charles on Twitter after her death was announced.

"Midwin dear heart, you were a brilliant spirit and beautiful soul. You were such a blessing. I'm just stunned, and have been since I learned of this today," Reid said. "Blessings to your mom and family. To all, please live every moment like it's your last, and OVER-appreciate your friends."
