Taylor, whose legal name was Ashley Taylor Gerren, starred in all three seasons of Baldwin Hills, which ran on BET from 2007 to 2009 and followed a group of African American teenagers from the Baldwin Hills neighborhood of Los Angeles.
“Still can’t believe it,” Taylor’s Baldwin Hills co-star Moriah Johnson said on Instagram on Monday.
“Feels like I’ve lost a piece of my childhood. It’s difficult to comprehend the brevity of life at times, and so we must live and love as best we can while we can. Sending my love and prayers to the Taylor family and all affected by this untimely loss. Such a beautiful and confident soul. Enjoy your rest.”
BET issued the following statement:
“The entire BET family mourns the passing of one of our own, Ms. Ashley Gerren Taylor, beloved star of Baldwin Hills. The untimely passing of such a young, bright light is difficult to process. BET’s thoughts and prayers go out to Ashley’s friends and family during this time.”
Taylor began her career at age 12 after a talent scout recruited her, making her the youngest-ever model signed to LA Models’ runway division. She also appeared in the 2007 documentary “America Is Beautiful.”
Taylor is survived by a daughter.
