According to People Magazine, Andrea was at her home in Toronto, Canada when she died unexpectedly. TMZ Sports was the first to report on the death on Friday, according to the publication.
"I am so heartbroken by the sudden passing of Tristan's mom, Andrea. My thoughts, prayers and all of my love are with Tristan, Amari, Dishawn and Daniel," Jenner wrote, referencing Andrea's children.
"You were the most amazing, dedicated, devoted, and selfless mom and such a loving, kind, and fabulous grandmother. What a blessing you were to your family!!! I will miss you Andrea," she added. "I will miss your bright spirit and amazing light. Thank you for always praying for us and lifting us up and encouraging us along the way. Rest in peace beautiful angel."

Tristan and Khloe have been romantically linked since 2016, and are currently broken up amidst Tristan's cheating scandals. The two share two children, True, 4, and a baby boy they welcomed in July via surrogate.
Neither Tristan nor Khloe have yet made a public statement regarding Andrea's death. According to unnamed sources cited by Entertainment Tonight, Khloe plans to attend a private funeral held in honor of Andrea along with Kris and Kim Kardashian.
Representatives for Thompson and the Kardashian-Jenner family did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.
Tristan has spoken out about his mother in recent years, and her role as caregiver to his youngest brother Amari, who is epileptic. In a 2016 interview with his former NBA team the Cleveland Cavaliers, Tristan discussed his family dynamic and how takes care of his mother.
"Even though I don't live at home and I'm four hours away from home, I talk to my mom every day – ask how the kids are doing, ask how she's doing, too," Thompson explained in the interview. "Everyone knows that my mom, she's very dedicated in taking care of her sons – especially Amari. But at the same time, you need to make sure that she's ok."
