Anne Burrell has died.
The beloved chef and Food Network star passed away on the morning of Tuesday, June 17 at her home in Brooklyn, New York. She was 55.
"Anne was a beloved wife, sister, daughter, stepmother, and friend — her smile lit up every room she entered," her family said in a statement to People Magazine. "Anne’s light radiated far beyond those she knew, touching millions across the world. Though she is no longer with us, her warmth, spirit, and boundless love remain eternal."
She is survived by her husband Stuart Claxton, stepson Javier, mother Marlene, siblings Jane and Ben, nieces Isabella and Amelia, and nephew Nicolas.
A fan-favorite on the Food Network, Burrell was best known as one of the hosts of Worst Cooks in America, where she helped turn some of the country's most disastrous chefs into capable cooks.
She is remembered by family, friends, and fans for her larger-than-life personality, fierce kitchen skills, and, of course, her trademark spiky platinum hair.
Born on Sept. 21, 1969, in Cazenovia, New York, Burrell discovered her culinary passion as a child, taking inspiration from her mother’s home-cooked meals and iconic chef Julia Child.
She first pursued a culinary career at the prestigious Culinary Institute of America, where she graduated in 1996. After that, she attended the Italian Culinary Institute for Foreigners and worked in restaurants in Italy. She eventually made her way back to the United States, working at acclaimed New York restaurants including Felidia and Savoy.
In the early 2000s, Burrell transitioned into teaching at the Institute of Culinary Education before later becoming a television personality.
Her cause of death is unknown.
