Amy Winehouse, the soul-jazz diva whose self-destructive habits clouded her impressive musical talent, was found dead Saturday in her London home, reports The Associated Press. She was 27.

The 27-year-old singer was pronounced dead at the home in Camden Square northern London. Her cause of death was not immediately known.

“Everyone who was involved with Amy is shocked and devastated. Our thoughts are with her family and friends,” said Chris Goodman, a spokesman for her publicity representatives. He said her family will issue a statement when they are ready.

Winehouse shot to fame in 2006 with the album “Back to Black,” whose blend of jazz, soul, rock and classic pop took on a global success and won five Grammys.
