  • Paris Hilton and Ashley Benson are just two of many Hollywood celebrities mourning the untimely passing of makeup artist Jake Bailey. Bailey was discovered by his assistant on Friday, dead from what is believed to have been suicide by carbon monoxide poisoning. An official cause of death hasn’t been determined, and is pending completion of an autopsy.

    Paris Hilton, like many celebrities who knew and loved Jake Bailey, took to social media to share her grief.

    “So sad, shocked & devastated to hear about @ByJakeBailey.? He was such an amazing person, an incredibly talented makeup artIst & friend. He was my makeup artist for the past 15 years. We travelled the world together, worked on so many beautiful projects & shared so many memories. Will miss him so much? My thoughts & prayers go out to all his family & loved ones. Heaven has a new angel. ?? #RIPJakeBailey ??” she captioned a photo of herself and other with Bailey.
