Paramedics then rushed to the address in San Fernando Valley, Los Angeles, where bystanders were attempting CPR.
Despite their best efforts, Tina’s second-born could not be saved and was pronounced dead at the scene, TMZ reports.
It is not clear what led to the medical emergency and whether it was related to his current health issues or his past battle with cancer.
While sharing a black and white photo of herself on Instagram today, Tina Turner wrote: “Ronnie, you left the world way too soon.
“In sorrow I close my eyes and think of you, my beloved son.”
The singer’s devastating loss comes just four years after her eldest son, Craig, committed suicide.
Craig Raymond Turner shot himself to death in his California home in 2018.
And the tributes are pouring in today for his brother Ronnie, who made a name for himself in Hollywood with a role in the 1992 biopic about his mother’s life, What’s Love Got to Do With Him?
Avida Turner, Ronnie’s widow, wrote on Instagram: “Oh my God Ronnie Turner a huge true spirited angel spirit my husband my best friend my baby your mom your nurse.
“I did my best to the end this time I couldn’t save you I love you for 17 years this is too bad I’m so angry.”
She added, “This is such a tragedy that you with your brother Craig and your father Ike Turner and Allen are in heaven unfair.”
Meanwhile, fans took to Twitter to share their condolences.
One wrote: “My sincerest condolences to @tinaturner and @afidaTurner… hope Ronnie rest in peace.”
Another said: “My sincere condolences to @tinaturner on the loss of her youngest son, Ronnie Turner, just four years after the loss of her first son.”
A third added, “No parent should bury one of their children. Sending prayers for Tina and the rest of the family and friends.”
Tina was only 18 when she had Craig with Raymond Hill – who played saxophone for the band Kings of Rhythm.
She later married Ike Turner, who adopted Craig after their marriage in 1962.
The Proud Mary singer gave birth to baby Ike Rooney in 1960.
The couple divorced in 1976 after Tina accused Ike of hitting her.
Ike died of a drug overdose in 2007.
