Irish-born makeup artist Cathriona White, who has been romantically linked with comedian Jim Carrey for the past three years, was found dead Monday in an apparent suicide.

"I am shocked and deeply saddened by the passing of my sweet Cathriona," Carrey said in a statement to the Today show. "She was a truly kind and delicate Irish flower, too sensitive for this soil, to whom loving and being loved was all that sparkled."

White's body was found in a residence in Sherman Oaks, CA by a friend, said Ed Winter, assistant chief for the operations and investigation division of the Los Angeles County coroner's office. A suicide note and pills were found near her body, he told TODAY.com, but the actual cause of death won't be known until an autopsy can be performed.

White, who was active on social media, left a cryptic note on her Twitter page, which ended with, "I hope I have been a light to my nearest and dearest."
