On Tuesday, Douglas' cousin, Angie Tee, delivered the heartbreaking news on Facebook, confirming the passing of the actress.

Tee attached a photoset of the late star alongside a lengthy caption that reminisced Douglas' legacy as a celebrity.

"Suzzanne Douglas a beautiful and talented actress made her transition today. She warmed our hearts on movie screens and television sets all over the world. This beautiful soul was my cousin," she wrote.

Douglas' cousin took her time to recall how the actress shined in the industry when there were not enough black actresses on films and series. She particularly applauded her for scoring the lead role in "Tap," allowing her to work with Gregory Hines and Sammy Davis Jr.

The actress reportedly had a wonderful time filming with Angela Bassett and Whoopi Goldberg for "How Stella Got Her Groove Back."

Tee concluded her post with a farewell message, telling Douglas how much she will be missed by her family and fans.
