Tina Turner’s son Ronnie has died at the age of 62, it has been claimed.

The Simply The Best singer welcomed her youngest son in 1960, with former partner Ike Turner.

According to reports, he died on Thursday following a medical emergency in LA.

Police sources reportedly told TMZ that a person made a call to the emergency services after finding him outside their home, struggling to breathe.

The outlet claims that he stopped breathing a few minutes later, with concerned bystanders performing CPR.

Paramedics quickly arrived at the scene, in the San Fernando Valley area, but he was pronounced dead shortly after.

His cause of death has not been made clear.

Tina has yet to speak out on the news.

The music icon gave birth to her late son in 1960, two years after welcoming first child Craig with Raymond Hill.

She also adopted Ike’s two sons from a previous marriage, Ike Jr and Michael.

Ronnie later joined his mom on screen in the 1993 biopic, What’s Love Got To Do With It, which charted her life story and rise to superstardom.
