Farrah Fawcett has died, aged 62.

The Charlies Angels star passed away Thursday at St. John’s Health Center in Los Angeles after a lengthy battle with cancer, Us Weekly reports.

She was with longtime partner Ryan O’Neal, friend Alana Stewart, friend and hairdresser Mela Murphy and her doctor Lawrence Piro. She had recently returned to St. John’s for treatment of complications from anal cancer.

“She’s gone. She now belongs to the ages,” O’Neal told People magazine. “She’s now with he mother and sister and her God. I loved her with all my heart. I will miss her so very, very much. She was in and out of consciousness. I talked to her all through the night. I told her how very much I loved her. She’s in a better place now.”

Added O’Neal, “She was with her team when she passed … Her eyes were open, but she didn’t say anything. But you could see in her eyes that she recognized us.”

O’Neal says they plan to honor Fawcett with a funeral service at the downtown Catholic cathedral in Los Angeles in the next few days.

Fawcett was first diagnosed with anal cancer in 2006. Her illness was chronicled in the recently aired NBC documentary Farrah’s Story.

“I’m holding on to the hope that there is some reason I got cancer and that there is something, that may not be very clear to me right now, that I will do,” Fawcett said during an interview for the documentary.

“Everybody says they’re praying for me, so I have to get well… when that many people pray!”

In a 20/20 interview airing Friday, Farrah’s longtime partner, actor Ryan O’Neal, said that even though actress is “fighting for her life,” she had “agreed” to marry him.
