The official toxicology reports are still pending, but she is not said to have sustained any unusual injuries.
When announcing her sister’s death, Lila wrote in a statement: ‘Yesterday my family received news that our sweet, fabulous, creative, caring, hilarious Eva, my beautiful sister, has died.
‘After 24 hours, I still find myself in a constant cycle of denial and acceptance, so I know how unbelievable and hard to process this news will be.’
Lila added that the family would be holding a celebration of Evans’ life in lower Manhattan on Tuesday (April 23) and asked fans to DM her if they wanted to attend.
She continued: ‘I wish I had Eva here now to refer to because she would have better words and know how to say what I don’t.
‘I am keeping this brief, so we can plan for the next few days, but you’ll be hearing a lot more from me on how much Eva means to me and just how different the world will be without her.’
Julia Fox was among the hundreds of people who shared their condolences in the comments section.
The fashion icon wrote: ‘I literally can’t believe this.’
Paying tribute, Suzy Welch penned: ‘The loss is unfathomable, to those of us lucky enough to have known her brilliance and goodness, but also to the world, which is not the place it was meant to be without her. Godspeed, Lila, and love.’
Lindsay Vrckovnik added: ‘This is heartbreaking. I’m so so so sorry sending you and your family all of my love and strength.
