“Anna Nicole is absolutely devastated by the loss of her son. He was her pride and joy and an amazing human being,” the site said.

Daniel Smith was the product of Smith’s 1985 marriage to Billy Smith. The couple, who met while working together at Jim’s Krispy Fried Chicken in Mexia, Texas, divorced in 1987. Daniel had roles in her movies “Skyscraper” and “To the Limit.”
