Elizabeth Hurley confirmed the passing of her ex Steve Bing, who reportedly fell to his death from his Los Angeles, Calif. apartment building on Monday.
The 55-year-old actress took to Instagram early Tuesday morning to pay tribute to Bing, who fathered her 18-year-old son, Damian.
"I am saddened beyond belief that my ex Steve is no longer with us. It is a terrible end. Our time together was happy and I'm posting these pictures because although we went through some tough times, it's the good, wonderful memories of a sweet, kind man that matter," Hurley's heartbreaking tribute began.
The "Runaways" star went on to explain that she and Bing reunited within the last 12 months.
"In the past year we had become close again. We last spoke on our son's 18th birthday. This is devastating news and I thank everyone for their lovely messages," Hurley concluded.
Along with her tribute, Hurley shared a slideshow of throwback photos of the former couple featuring them cuddling up close at a number of locations around the world, including an amusement park and a ski resort.

At the age of 18, Bing inherited an estimated $600 million from his grandfather, Leo S. Bing, a real estate developer, which led him to drop out of Stanford University and use the money to invest in Hollywood.
In 2009, Bing paid for the flight that carried Clinton and American journalists Laura Ling and Euna Lee home from North Korea, according to Deadline.
