Oprah Winfrey
After learning of Tina's passing, Oprah recalled that the 'Proud Mary' singer - who survived domestic abuse at the hands of ex-husband Ike Turner - was "not afraid of death".
Oprah said: "Once she claimed her freedom from years of domestic abuse, her life became a clarion call for triumph.
"I’m grateful for her courage, for showing us what victory looks like wearing Manolo’s and a leather miniskirt.
"She once shared with me that when her time came to leave this earth, she would not be afraid, but excited and curious.
"Because she had learned how to live surrounded by her beloved husband, Erwin, and friends."
