As the Trump family was grieving the sudden death of Ivana, their children took social media to pay tribute.
Ivana Trump, former wife of Donald Trump and mum of Donald Jr., Ivanka, and Eric had sadly and suddenly died.
It is believed that the 73-year-old suffered may have suffered a medical incident and fallen down the stairs at her townhouse in New York before attending a hair salon appointment.
Ivana was found at the bottom of the stairs in her apartment in what the New York City Office of Chief Medical Examiner is calling an accidental death. She had reportedly fallen and suffered blunt impact injuries to the torso.
Donald Trump Jr. wrote in a post on Instagram:
“Mom, we will miss you incredibly. Thanks for always pushing us hard, not letting us get away with anything, and instilling so many incredible values and personality traits. From your sense of humor to your sense of adventure, I am who I am today because of you. I love you very much. R.I.P.”
While the grieving Ivanka Trump wrote on Twitter:
“Heartbroken by the passing of my mother. Mom was brilliant, charming, passionate and wickedly funny. She lived life to the fullest — never forgoing an opportunity to laugh and dance. I will miss her forever and will keep her memory alive in our hearts always.”

The youngest of the three children of Ivana and Donald Trump, Eric Trump wrote on Instagram:
“Our mother was an incredible woman — a force in business, a world-class athlete, a radiant beauty, and caring mother and friend. Ivana Trump was a survivor.”
“She fled from communism and embraced this country. She taught her children about grit and toughness, compassion and determination. She will be dearly missed by her mother, her three children and ten grandchildren.”
On Thursday afternoon, President Trump announced his ex-wife’s death in a post on social media, writing:
“I am very saddened to inform all of those that loved her, of which there are many, that Ivana Trump has passed away at her home in New York City.”
“She was a wonderful, beautiful, and amazing woman, who led a great and inspirational life. Her pride and joy were her three children, Donald Jr., Ivanka, and Eric. She was so proud of them, as we were all so proud of her. Rest In Peace, Ivana!”
More details of the sudden death of Ivana Trump from The Daily Wire’s report:
Law enforcement officials had received a call to do a wellness check on Ivana, 73, on Thursday because someone close to her had called and said that they had not seen her recently. She reportedly was found near the bottom of a staircase when first responders arrived.
Ivana Marie Zelnícková was born under communist rule in the former Czechoslovakia. She was athletically gifted growing up, participating in competitive skiing starting at the age of six and continuing to ski through college. She was also reportedly an alternate for the country’s Olympic team in 1972.
Ivana later immigrated to Canada in the 1970s where she worked as a ski instructor before starting her modeling career, which landed her in New York in 1976 where she quickly met Donald Trump.
Ivana married Donald in 1977. The couple got divorced in 1992.
The New York Times reported that Ivana was a “critical part” in Donald building his real-estate business, describing her as extremely hard working and with a keen eye for details. At one point she served as vice president for interior design at the Trump Organization.
Ivana and Donald were on good terms in recent years, reportedly speaking as often as once a week, as she supported him politically and encouraged his use of Twitter.
