Mourners pay tribute at Kim Porter's funeral in Georgia

The funeral for the model and actress Kim Porter, 47, the longtime girlfriend of Sean “Diddy” Combs and mother to three of his kids, was held in her native Columbus, Georgia, on Saturday.

The 47-year-old was buried next to her mother, Sarah Lee Porter, who died in 2014.

Mourners flooded the parking lot as over 1,200 people showed their respects, according to TMZ.

According to the New York Post, Combs, 49, who shares three children — Jessie James, D’Lila, and Christian — with Porter, was photographed outside Cascade Hills Church.

The music mogul also took to Twitter before the memorial service to thank his fans for their support.

“Today we lay to rest our ANGEL,” he wrote. “Her spirit lives on with us FOREVER!!! We thank you all for your prayers and support. You have no idea how much it means to us. We thank GOD for all of you.”

He also held a private memorial for Porter on Sunday in Los Angeles. Friends including Mary J. Blige, French Montana and Pharrell Williams reportedly attended.

While the cause of Porter’s death hasn’t been disclosed, she was reportedly battling pneumonia when authorities were called to respond to a cardiac arrest at her LA home.

Since news of her death broke, tributes from the music industry have poured in on social media.

TV personality Kimora Lee Simmons, who shared a heartfelt message along with a photo montage of the two of them this week, was photographed heading into the funeral home.

It is unclear whether Diddy gave a eulogy amid speculation that he would speak at the service.

The two began dating in the mid-1990s and their relationship ended for good in 2007. Porter also had a son, Quincy, from her relationship with R & B crooner Al B. Sure.

Diddy adopted Quincy.
