Yvette Wilson dead at 48: ‘Moesha’ actress loses battle with cervical cancer

 Actress Yvette Wilson died Thursday after losing her battle with stage 4 cervical cancer, according to multiple reports. She was 48.

Wilson was best known for her role as Andell Wilkerson on UPN's "Moesha" and its spinoff "The Parkers," and also appeared in the movies "House Party 2," "House Party 3" and "Friday."

In January, one of Wilson's friends created a website to help raise money for the actress' medical bills.

"Yvette has experienced kidney failure, kidney transplants and cervical cancer, among other things," the site reads. "Her cancer has come back after an extended retreat, and doctors are saying it's very aggressive this time out."

Wilson's "Moesha" costar, Shar Jackson, acknowledged the sad news on Twitter Thursday night.

"F--- Cancer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! … Oh god..... My heart is soooo unbelievably broken ...." she wrote. "I wanna thank all my tweeties for their prayers but god has chosen to take my sister Yvette home."

According to NewsOne, Wilson went to California's San Jose State University and became a regular on Russell Simmon's "Def Comedy Jam." Her big break came in 1993 on the short-lived ABC sitcom "Thea."
