Kymberly Herrin, the former Playboy Playmate who appeared in Ghostbusters, has died at the age of 65.
The model passed away peacefully on October 28 in Santa Barbara, California, where she had lived up until her death, according to the Santa Barbara News-Press.
Kymberly is most famous for her role in the 1984 film Ghostbusters which saw her appear as a ghost in an infamous sex scene with Dan Aykroyd's character Ray Stantz.
In the scene, the ghost was seen hovering above Ray's bed before undoing his belt buckle.
Dan later joked about filming with Kymberly and said he wished "they'd let that scene go a little longer".
"Sexual encounters with spirits are very, very common," Dan added in an interview with Polygon.
Fans have taken to Twitter to pay tribute to Kymberly, with one person writing: "Gone, but not forgotten. She will always be everyone’s Dream Ghost."
Another wrote: "Very sad news. Hope she is having sweet dreams."
Throughout her career, Kymberly graced the cover of more than a dozen magazines, both local to Santa Barbara and international. She became Playboy magazine's Playmate of the Month for its March 1981 issue.
As well as starring in Ghostbusters, she also appeared in Romancing the Stone as Angelina.
Kymberly is survived by her mother Billie Dodson, her brother Mark Herrin, nieces Theresa Ramirez and Stephanie Ross, nephews Brandon Herrin & Trevor Triegor, along with numerous grandnieces and grandnephews.
In Kymberly's obituary, shared by the Santa Barbara News-Press, fans have been asked to make a donation to charity in her memory.
"If you are so moved, please make a donation in Kym’s memory to the American Cancer Society to further the research of the prevention and treatment of breast cancer," the request read.
The tribute also said the actress "loved to travel and sail", having lived aboard and sailed on a 75-foot yacht for several years.
She sailed along the California Coast, through the Panama Canal, in the Sea of Cortez, in Baja and into the Caribbean.
