Youree Del Cleomill Harris, Famed TV Psychic Miss Cleo, Dies at 53 After Cancer Fight

Youree Del Cleomill Harris, who became a celebrity as hotline "psychic" Miss Cleo, died Tuesday after a battle with cancer, her lawyer said.

She was 53.

Harris died in Palm Beach County, Florida, surrounded by family and friends, attorney William Cone Jr. told NBC News. She had recently left the hospital for hospice care.

"She remained a pillar of strength throughout," Cone said in a statement. "She has touched so many lives, both within her family and in the community. She will be dearly missed by us all." 

Harris gained notoriety in the late 1990s as the face of the Psychic Readers Network, wearing colorful headdresses and speaking in a thick — and fake — Jamaican accent.
