NEW YORK, NY.- Erica Ash, an actress and comedian known for her roles in the satirical reality show “Real Husbands of Hollywood” and on the sketch comedy show “Mad TV,” died Sunday in Los Angeles. She was 46.

The cause was cancer, her mother, Diann Ash, said in a statement Monday.

Ash began her career in the 2000s as a cast member on the sketch comedy shows “The Big Gay Sketch Show” and “Mad TV,” where she impersonated celebrities like Michelle Obama and Condoleezza Rice.

She went on to appear in several dozen TV shows and films, including “Scary Movie V.” She landed a recurring role on BET’s “The Real Husbands of Hollywood,” a parody of reality TV shows that starred Kevin Hart.

On Starz’s “Survivor’s Remorse,” a drama-comedy about a young basketball star’s rise to fame, she played the main character’s sister.

Among her last projects, Ash appeared in the Netflix horror-comedy film, “We Have a Ghost.”

Erica Chantal Ash was born Sept. 19, 1977, in Florida, according to IMDb. She attended Emory University as a pre-medicine student, but pivoted to comedy and entertainment. In an interview in 2018 with Steve Harvey, she talked about taking a year off from studying medicine and becoming a backup singer for a Japanese band.

She was popular on social media, where she spoke out on politics and posted videos of herself portraying funny characters.

A list of survivors was not immediately available.
