R&B singer Natina Reed has died after being hit by a car in Georgia on Friday night.

The 32-year-old, who was one third of the girlband Blaque and also starred in the 2000 cheerleader film, ‘Bring It On,’ was pronounced dead half an hour after the driver of the vehicle, who has not been charged with any offences, phoned 911.

Her bandmates Shamari Fears-Devoe and Brandi Williams, who only recently confirmed that the trio had reunited, released a joint statement to express their grief:

"We are devastated by the loss of our group member, sister and friend Natina Reed. Because of the enormous support of Blaque fans and our love for each another, Blaque officially reunited this fall and we were in the process of working on a new album and a reality show. 

"Natina continuously embodied the pioneering spirit of Blaque and her undeniable creativity touched the hearts of fans everywhere. Natina was a mother, sister, accomplished songwriter, artist and friend. 

"We ask for your prayers at this time for Natina's family. She will forever be missed and her global influence eternally felt. We thank God for the experiences we shared."
