The celebrity world has said goodbye to many famous faces in 2024, with too many sad deaths happening in the past twelve months.
Celebrity deaths hit fans hard when they’re announced, as stars we’ve seen on the screen and in our lives for so many years pass on. Although they’ve left us, we remember them for the impact they left on the world.
Here, ED! remembers the stars we’ve loved and lost this year.
Derek Draper
GMB star Kate Garraway, lost her husband Derek Draper in January this year. He was 56. Derek had endured a lengthy battle with Covid-19 after being first hospitalised with the virus in early 2020.
Liam Payne
One Direction star Liam Payne tragically died after falling from his hotel balcony in Argentina in October, and became one of the most shocking and sudden celebrity deaths this year. A toxicology report claimed that Liam had a “cocktail of drugs” in his system at the time of his death.
Dame Maggie Smith
