Slash did not provide any details about the cause of Knight's death, but remembered her as "an incredibly talented artist, a passionate dreamer, and a charming, lovable, sweet soul."
Slash, whose real name is Saul Hudson, is not married to Hodges, but considered Knight a stepsister to his children London and Cash. Hodges shared the same statement on her social media pages.
