Socialite Casey Johnson is reportedly dead, according to website TMZ.The 30-year old heiress to the Johnson & Johnson fortune and daughter of New York Jets owner Woody Johnson was found dead in her home this morning in Los Angeles. There is no official cause of death, although it is suspected to be natural causes.
The Paris Hilton before Paris Hilton, Casey Johnson gained serious attention in the last months of her life for increasingly erratic behavior. She announced her engagement to reality TV star Tila Tequila last month in an internet video. Tequila went to her Twitter, where she expressed her devastation at the loss of her fiance. In November, she was arrested for stealing a bevy of items from a supermodel friend.
In the early half of the 2000's, she was a mainstay of the celebutante party circuit, being photographed by the paparazzi alongside the Hilton heiresses Paris and Nicky Hilton. The girls were featured in a documentary called The It Girls in 2002.
Johnson leaves behind her daughter Ava, who she adopted from Kazakhstan in 2007. Her daughter is in the custody of her mother, Sale Johnson.
I offer my condolences to the Johnson & Johnson family, as well as Tila, at this difficult time.
