Morgan Freeman is mourning the loss of his step-granddaughter after she was stabbed to death in New York City in the early hours of Sunday.
Police officials were called to the Washington Heights neighbourhood just before 3am local time, when they discovered Edena Hines bleeding on the sidewalk after suffering multiple knife wounds to the torso.
She was admitted to a nearby hospital, where the aspiring actress was subsequently pronounced dead.
A 30-year-old male suspect was arrested at the scene of the crime.
Freeman, who took Hines as his date to the 2005 Golden Globe Awards, has paid tribute to the 33 year old, who was the granddaughter of the actor's first wife, Jeanette Adair Bradshaw.
In a statement to Gossip Cop, The Shawshank Redemption star writes, "The world will never know her artistry in talent, and how much she had to offer. Her friends and family were fortunate enough to have known what she meant as a person. Her star will continue to shine bright in our hearts, thoughts and prayers. May she rest in peace."
Hines' death emerges three years after Freeman famously slammed reports suggesting they were romantically involved amid false claims they were preparing to wed, blasting the allegations as "defamatory fabrications".
The 78 year old was married to Adair Bradshaw from 1967 to 1979. His second marriage, to Myrna Colley-Lee, ended in 2010 after 26 years.

NEW YORK - The live-in boyfriend of actor Morgan Freeman's granddaughter was charged on Monday with her murder, police said.
E'Dena Hines, 33, was found fatally stabbed early on Sunday in a street near her apartment in the city's Washington Heights neighborhood, according to the New York Police Department.
She had suffered multiple stab wounds to the torso and was pronounced dead at a nearby hospital.
Lamar Davenport, 30, was taken into custody and transferred to a hospital for mental evaluation, police said.
Davenport had been seen by witnesses attacking Hines in what was described as an apparent "exorcism," yelling "Get out, devils. I cast you out, devils," according to reports in the Daily News and New York Post.
He was charged early on Monday with second-degree murder, police said.
He remained hospitalized under evaluation, police said.
Hines and Davenport lived together at 43 West 162nd Street, police said.
Hines studied acting at New York University and was an actor, writer and acting instructor, according to her website.
Freeman, 78, has appeared in more than 100 films, among them "Invictus," "The Shawshank Redemption" and "Driving Miss Daisy." He won an Oscar in 2005 for his supporting role in "Million Dollar Baby."
"I want to acknowledge the tremendous outpouring of love and support my family has received regarding the tragic and senseless passing of my granddaughter Edena Hines," Freeman said in a posting on his Facebook page. "Thank you from the bottom of my heart."
Hines was Freeman's step-granddaughter but he never referred to her as that, Freeman publicist Stan Rosenfield said. She was the granddaughter of his first wife Jeanette Adair Bradshaw, who was divorced from Freeman in 1979.
