The 57-year-old “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star as already issued a statement regarding her brother’s passing and she admitted that it was totally a shock for her and their family. “This has come as a shock to us all. My brother and I had connected the day before this tragedy and I was completely unprepared for this,” she said.

“He was my only sibling and I am shocked and saddened by his passing,” Vanderpump added. “I am trying to be supportive of his two young sons that he has left behind, and help them get through this tragedy. We appreciate your consideration in this private and extremely difficult family time.”
