World-famous psychic Sylvia Browne dead at age 77

Browne, who made appearances on programs such as Larry King Live and Unsolved Mysteries, died Wednesday morning in San Jose, California, the site reported. Her son, Chris, confirmed her death to TMZ, saying she passed away while surrounded by family and friends.
For more than 17 years, Browne, who grew up in Kansas City, Missouri, charmed TV viewers with her claimed spiritual psychic ability self-realized at the age of 3, according to her website. “For many years she shared her gift with friends and family, gaining a reputation for accuracy with her trademark down-to-earth approach and sense of humor and became very well-known for helping people even before moving to California in 1964,” according to the site.
She went on to write dozens of books and publications, some including topics of the afterlife for both humans and pets, dreams, healing, end of the world predictions and prophecies, and Angels, Guides and Ghosts.
Browne made headlines after falsely claiming in 2004 that one of the Cleveland kidnaping victims, Amanda Berry, was dead. “She’s not alive, honey,” Browne told mom Louwanna Miller on The Montel Williams Show. Miller died two years later and would never know that Berry was in fact alive, further angering some of Browne’s critics and skeptics.
Montel Williams was one to publicly express sympathy over Browne’s death, describing her as “a beacon that shined for so many.” He continued, saying: “I, like so many of you, lost a friend today. But, as has been for the last twenty years, she’ll always remain a part of me. My thoughts and prayers go out to Sylvia’s family in this time of loss.”
Browne is survived by her husband, two sons and three grandchildren, according to her website.
