Australian actress Rachael Carpani has died, aged 45.
Carpani was best known for her role as Jodi Fountain on the hit show McLeod’s Daughters.
In an Instagram post Carpani’s parents Tony and Gael say Carpani “unexpectedly but peacefully passed away after a long battle with chronic illness”.
She died in the early hours of Sunday.
“Rest in Peace our beautiful girl….the “baby” of our MD family….” McLeod’s Daughters co-star Bridie Carter wrote in a tribute on Instagram.
“We love you, we cherish you…. This is the wrong order of things. We are better people for having the privilege of sharing time with you…
“May your blessed spirit, so vivid, so full of life, laughter, joy generosity, unique talent, energy, fervour, intelligence, resilience, courage and great humour, and a gentle humility, may you rest in peace.”
