R&B singer Leah LaBelle, 31, and husband and NBA player Rasual Butler, 38, were killed in a fatal car crash in Studio City today (Jan. 31).
TMZ reports that at around 2:30 a.m. PT, Butler lost control of his Range Rover and collided with several parking meters before flipping and then slamming the vehicle into a wall.
Stars have been sharing their memories of Leah on social media, with Pharrell writing on Instagram: ‘@leahlabelle , your spirit was just as your voice; beautiful. ‘Moments like these leave us with so many questions. What I don’t question is how much you loved God, how much you love your life partner and where you guys are now. Sing Sis, sing.’

Sevyn Streeter also took to Instagram to share her condolences:
“In a City much smaller than people may think, there is a community, a circle, a supportive handful of amazing beings we’re blessed to call friends. They are our family away from family, home away from home. @rasualbutler8 @leahlabelle were that to so many of us! My heart is unbearably heavy today! We will never forget you & will love you always. To my circle of friends here in la, may we always remember to give a smile, make a phone call, send a txt & spread love the way Sual & Leah did. Love & God bless you all. 2 more Angels In Heaven
