Fifi Geldof paid tribute to her younger sister Peaches in a touching Instagram post, after the 25-year-old British TV personality was found dead in her home on Monday.

“My beautiful baby sister. … Gone but never forgotten,” Geldof, 31, wrote, as the caption to a photo of her and the late beauty as children.

“I love you Peaches,” she added.

Fifi Trixibelle Geldof, the eldest daughter of Bob Geldof and late model Paula Yates, joined her father and Peaches’ husband, Tom Cohen, in speaking out on the death of the British socialite.

'My beautiful baby sister... Gone but never forgotten.' Fifi Geldof (R) posted a photo of her and her younger sister Peaches (L) to Instagram on Tuesday.

“We are beyond pain,” Bob Geldof, 62, the lead singer of Ireland’s Boomtown Rats and a founder of charity group Band Aid, said in a statement Monday.

“How is this possible that we will not see her again? How is that bearable?”

The Irish musician was seen at Heathrow airport on Tuesday. He reportedly flew back to London from California following news of his daughter’s death. An autopsy is scheduled to take place on Wednesday in Kent, BBC News reports.

Peaches also leaves behind two toddler sons, 1-year-old Astala and 23-month-old Phaedra, she had with her husband.

“My beloved wife Peaches was adored by myself and her two sons Astala and Phaedra, and I shall bring them up with their mother in their hearts every day,” he said in the joint family statement.

Geldof’s family was the source of her happiness. As a contributing writer to Mother & Baby magazine, the blond beauty recently shared just how “perfect” her life with her children had been.

“When I had two wailing, smiling, joyful little blobs of waddling pink flesh they became my entire existence and saved me from (a life) of pure apathy,” she wrote in an entry for the magazine before her 25th birthday on March 13, but published Tuesday, according to the Evening Standard.

“Everything else was nothingness – I had the perfect life, two babies who loved me more than anything. It was and is bliss.”

The revelation that she led a seemingly happy life at home further disprove speculation of suicide. Geldof’s mother Paula Yates died in 2000 after a heroin overdose, but there is no evidence that her daughter met the same fate.

Kent police officials say the death is being treated as “non-suspicious but unexplained and sudden,” BBC News reports.
