Diddy, Kim’s ex, revealed that Kim’s funeral will take place on Saturday.

“Today we lay to rest our ANGEL,” he revealed on Instagram. “Her spirit lives on with us FOREVER!”

Porter dated Diddy for 13 years and they share three children, 20-year-old Christian Combs, and 11-year-old twin daughters Jessie James and D’Lila. She also is the mother to son Quincy, who Diddy went on to adopt.

Kim was found dead in her Toluca Lake, Calif. On Nov. 15.

An autopsy was done by the LA County Medical examiner on Nov. 16, but her cause of death has been “deferred pending additional tests,” a spokesperson for the coroner’s office previously told Access.

She is set to be buried  in Colombus, Georgia, according to her death certificate that was obtained by Access.

Her death was a huge shock to her friends and family, including her long time friend Kimora Lee Simmons.

“I cannot stop crying but I will be strong for you. Gone WAY too soon. Wtf. I am in shock. To my beautiful friend and sister, I love you,” Kimora wrote on Instagram. ” We will never stop crying for you.”

At your homegoing celebration today it became all too real that you are not coming back. I cannot stop crying but I will be strong for you. Gone WAY too soon. Wtf. I am in shock. To my beautiful friend and sister, I love you.❤️ This is unbelievable. When I first heard the news, I was angry that someone would play such a stupid ass joke. They said you were in your room sleeping. Aoki and I rushed to your house to tell you to ‘get up and come your ass outside!’ But soon as i arrived I realized you would not come. Every room I walk into now I think, “ok, I will just go and get Kim.” But I see that I cannot. This is all too close and too sad. Your light was a beaming beacon for so many. You are A WHOLE MOOD! You are a girls girl which is why we’ve stayed close always. We are so alike in so many ways, we shared clothes, food, attitudes, friends, enemies, the greatest happinesses and the worst sadnesses. We’ve been married, given birth, raised families, gotten divorced, experienced death and everything in between-together. You are a great mama. Between us we have 8 kids who are all cousins. We are, and will always be-a family. I will look after yours and you will look after and guide us all. What a beautiful, loving, sassy soul to have lost. We love you forever. May God bless your journey. We will never stop crying for you❤️🕊 #kimporter #forevermylady #rip 😢 #blackexcellence 👑✨
