“That ’70s Show” actress dies at age 43 [View all]

Actress Lisa Robin Kelly has passed away at the age of 43 after a battle with alcohol abuse.

The former “That ’70s Show” actor died in her sleep at a rehab facility in California, where she had been seeking help for booze-related issues since last week.



The spokesperson tells TMZ.com, “She had been fighting demons for a while and finally lost her battle.”

Kelly had been struggling with alcohol problems for several years, and was just arrested for a suspected DUI in June.
