Upon seeing the news that the Queen of Rock 'n' Roll passed away in her home outside of Zurich, Switzerland, at age 83 on Wednesday, May 24, the "I'm Coming Out" singer described feeling "Shocked" and "Saddened" in a statement shared to Twitter.

Ross also included a sweet photo of the two posing on a red carpet, writing, "Sending condolences to Tina Turner’s family and loved ones."

Turner's death was confirmed in an Instagram post by her manager, Peter Lindbergh, who shared the news in a statement alongside a black-and-white portrait of the late singer.

"It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Tina Turner. With her music and her boundless passion for life, she enchanted millions of fans around the world and inspired the stars of tomorrow," he wrote. "Today we say goodbye to a dear friend who leaves us all her greatest work: her music. All our heartfelt compassion goes out to her family. Tina, we will miss you dearly. (© Peter Lindbergh)."
