We have tragic news to report out of Hollywood today.
Katherine Short, the daughter of beloved comic actor Martin Short, has passed away.
She was just 42 years old.
According to a report from TMZ, Katherine died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Law enforcement sources tell the outlet that the fire department arrived at Katherine’s Hollywood Hills home Monday, shortly after 6:40 pm on Monday to find that she had passed away.
Katherine was the daughter of Martin and his late wife, Nancy Dolman, who passed away in 2010 of ovarian cancer, after 30 years of marriage.
“It is with profound grief that we confirm the passing of Katherine Hartley Short,” reps for Martin said in a statement issued Tuesday afternoon.
“The Short family is devastated by this loss, and asks for privacy at this time. Katherine was beloved by all and will be remembered for the light and joy she brought into the world.”
A graduate of NYU with a master’s from USC, Katherine dedicated her life to social work, primarily with an organization called Bring Change To Mind.
Along with her colleagues, she worked to break down stigmas associated with mental health issues.
The eldest of Martin’s three children, Katherine mostly steered clear of the spotlight, but she joined her father at occasional events and award shows over the years.
Martin is scheduled to perform with longtime collaborator Steve Martin in Minneapolis on Saturday, but it’s not clear at this time if the show will take place as scheduled.
This is the second tragedy for Martin in as many months, as his close friend and colleague Catherine O’Hara passed away unexpectedly in January.
Our thoughts are with the Short family as they begin to try and process this terrible tragedy.

As March looms, Ohio State and USC find themselves on the NCAA Tournament bubble, with pivotal games ahead that could determine how many Big Ten teams make the Big Dance. The Buckeyes have been a rollercoaster this season, currently sitting at 17-10 overall and 9-7 in Big Ten play. After an impressive 6-0 start, they’ve struggled to string together more than two wins in a row. With four regular-season games left, Ohio State has a golden opportunity to boost its résumé, starting Wednesday with a road test at Iowa. USC, once comfortably in the tournament mix, has now dropped three straight and fallen to 18-9 overall and 7-9 in Big Ten play. With four games remaining, the Trojans will need to turn things around quickly, starting with a road game at UCLA on Tuesday night. If both the Buckeyes and Trojans can finish strong, the Big Ten could see 11 teams in the Big Dance, challenging the SEC, which currently leads Mike DeCourcy’s projections with 11 bids of its own. With that, here are DeCourcy’s NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament projections. EAST REGION SOUTH REGION MIDWEST REGION WEST REGION And it’s never too early to check in on the bubble. According to DeCourcy’s projections, Auburn, Santa Clara, VCU and New Mexico are the last four teams in the tournament, while USC, Ohio State, TCU and Cal are the first four out. As for conference representation, the SEC leads the way with 11 teams, while the Big Ten has nine teams. The ACC has eight teams and the Big 12 has seven teams in DeCourcy’s latest tournament projections. The Big East and the West Coast have three teams represented, while the Mountain West and A-10 have two teams. Selection Sunday is less than one month away, and these projections will inevitably evolve. For now, DeCourcy’s latest bracket forecast offers a clear snapshot of who’s rising, who’s falling and which programs are already building the résumés they’ll need when March arrives.Latest Sports News from FOX Sports

Life is full of surprises.
Alaskan Bush People alum Rain Brown is pregnant.
She is the youngest of the reality TV family’s children. It was her mother, Ami, who broke the news.
This comes at a complicated time for Rain, following her arrest last year and ongoing allegations of drug use.
Guess who’s pregnant?
On Sunday, February 22, family matriarch Ami Brown took to her Instagram page to make the announcement.
“My baby girl, Rain, is having a baby!!!” she began her caption.
Ami, who is a mother of seven, also listed a dramatic milestone for anyone who isn’t keeping track.
“Grandbaby Number Eleven, Coming Soon!” she wrote with apparent excitement.
Accompanying her caption, Ami shared what appears to be Rain’s sonogram.
As you can see, the sonogram reads “BABY’S FIRST PIC.”
Some may point to the name — “Brown, Merry” — on the image, wondering whether this is someone else’s fetal photo.
It is with a heavy heart that we remind you that her full legal human name is Merry Christmas Kathryn Raindrop Brown.
Her name, “Rain” (or “Rainy”), stems from “Raindrop.”
Alaskan Bush People viewers may recall that, nicknames aside, the Brown children began with names like Matthew and Joshua before eventually swerving into more esoteric naming conventions.
Fans are having mixed reactions
This is, as we mentioned earlier, a complex time for Rain.
We don’t just mean because she is only 23 years old (she will turn 24 in November), which makes her young to be married to husband Josiah Lorton and extremely young to become a mom.
Just last April, the couple was arrested and both spouses were charged with first-degree burglary and first-degree malicious mischief. Rain also received a trespassing charge.
Both Rain and Josiah pleaded not guilty.
Their next hearing is set for March 9.
This legal issue — about which fans still have many questions — is only one of the issues at hand.
Recently, Noah Brown claimed that his youngest sister and mother might be in poor health, even calling for a welfare check on them both. The welfare check was unsuccessful.
He has even accused Rain of “not allowing” their mother, Ami, to take her medication. (Amy is not only a grandmother-many-times-over but also a cancer survivor.)
Noah has accused Rain, Josiah, and even Ami of using meth.
Rain has hit back at Noah’s claims, and may have alluded to her sexual abuse allegations against him as a way of explaining why he supposedly wishes to discredit her.
Were troubles like these inevitable? Probably, yeah
We don’t know what’s behind literally any of this. Not the criminal charges, not the allegations of drug use and unstable behavior, not the family beef.
Rain is pregnant at a young age and in less than ideal circumstances. Given the way that our society works, there’s likely nothing that we can do about any of this.
We should also note that Ami ran off with Billy when she was a (young) teenager, when he was already a grown man. Some of the Browns, including the late patriarch, had criminal histories long before their reality TV debut.
It seems likely that raising a bunch of children off of the grid, then feigning off-the-grid lifestyles while in reality living hybrid lifestyles with reality TV money, then an abrupt end to the reality TV gig as the family falls apart could have long-term adverse effects upon a family.
Rain also grew up on TV — even acting as her family’s de facto spokesperson on social media when she was only 14. Really, none of this has ever been okay, and the current struggles are sadly no surprise.
