World-Famous Psychic Sylvia Browne Passes Away

The world-famous psychic Sylvia Browne has passed away at age 77.

According to a post on Browne's Facebook page, Browne died Wednesday morning in San Jose, Calif.

In her over five decades as a psychic, Browne was best known for frequent appearances on radio and TV shows, particularly Larry King Live and The Montel Williams Show.

She most recently appeared on Live with Kelly and Michael last year.

"A beacon that shined for so many was extinguished today, but its brightness was relit and will now shine forever for many of us from above," said Montel Williams, according to the obituary posted on her Facebook page Wednesday evening.

"I, like so many of you, lost a friend today. But, as has been for the last twenty years, she'll always remain a part of me. My thoughts and prayers go out to Sylvia's family in this time of loss."

In addition to her television appearances, Browne was also a bestselling author who had 22 of her works appear on the New York Times Bestsellers List.

The cause of Browne's death has yet to be revealed.
