She was discovered by police at the bottom of a staircase in her home on 10 East 64th Street in Manhattan on Thursday, July 14.
Ivana immigrated to Canada in the 1970s and worked as a model before meeting and marrying Donald Trump in 1977, though the pair divorced 13 years later.
Ivana leaves behind her and the former US President’s three children; Donald Jr, Ivanka, and Eric, with the family confirming the news in a joint statement.
“It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved mother, Ivana Trump,” it read.
“Our mother was an incredible woman — a force in business, a world-class athlete, a radiant beauty, and caring mother and friend,” a statement from the Trump family read.
“Ivana Trump was a survivor. She fled from communism and embraced this country. She taught her children about grit and toughness, compassion and determination,” the family said.
“She will be dearly missed by her mother, her three children and ten grandchildren.”
