That ’70s Show star Lisa Robin Kelly died during her sleep on Wednesday after a long battle with drug and alcohol addiction. The 43-year-old, who played Topher Grace‘s older sister Laurie Forman on the FOX sitcom from 1998 to 2003, had been staying at Pax Rehab House since Monday. “I spoke to her on Monday and she was hopeful and confident, looking forward to putting this part of her life behind her,” Kelly’s agent Craig Wyckoff told People.com. “Last night she lost the battle. Cause of death has not been issued yet and no death certificate has been issued either.” After three seasons on That ’70s Show, Kelly was fired due to her drinking problem and replaced by actress Christina Moore. Since 2010, she was arrested multiple times for various incidents including a DUI and spousal abuse. In November 2012, she and husband Robert Joseph Gilliam, 61, were arrested following a disturbance at ther home. Kelly later filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences. According to sources at TMZ, employees at the rehab facility denied that the actress had been taking any withdrawal drugs. TMZ is also told that Kelly’s death remains a “mystery” since there was no evidence of drugs in her room. An autopsy is still underway. ~Alfonso Espina
