THE heartbroken family of a Dublin radio star have confirmed she has died unexpectedly in Spain.
Natasha Gillies was a long-standing presenter on Dublin City FM, with her sister telling how she had a passion for “making people smile”.
The 46-year-old presented The Irish Business Show for years, having joined the station in 2018.
On the show, the Dubliner interviewed business people and entrepreneurs alongside her role running an events company.
She was also an ambassador for the Dublin Chamber of Commerce.
Natasha’s sister Aimee Whelan said her sibling was as “an extremely personable and charismatic person” who was “known by many, many people” and loved “being on stage making people smile”.
Aimee shared: “It is with a broken heart that we share the news that our beloved sister/mother/daughter/friend, Natasha, passed away unexpectedly in Spain.
“Tasha was a bright light to everyone who knew her.
“She was kind, funny, loved adventures, and was passionate about her business and being on stage making people smile.
