Mauricio Ochmann was one of the many celebrities that have been moved by the shocking death of Hiromi Hayakawa. They both starred on Telemundo's "El Chema" last year where Hiromi played one of Ochmann's love interest in the series. Mauricio took to Twitter to bid farewell with a beautiful message. "My dear Hiromi, it was a pleasure to coincide with you in this life," he wrote. "We will miss you. Your light will never turn off."

Hiromi Hayakawa was confirmed dead at 34 years of age yesterday. The former "La Academia" contestant was rushed to the hospital last night after experiencing an hemorrhage from her pregnancy. Hiromi was not due until mid-October, but following complications both the baby and the singer died. Hayakawa was recently on "El Chema" on Telemundo, where she played one of the lead characters' love interest. She was best known for her musical theatre chops and starred in musicals like "Mentiras" and most recently "Bule Bule," which was a tribute to the "rock n' roll" music era.

Hiromi had recently gotten married, less than a year ago. She was beyond excited to welcome a baby to this world. Earlier this month she shared a picture of herself at the doctor getting an ultrasound where she was able to see her baby Julieta.

Hiromi's publicist sent out a confirmation writing: "We regret to inform you about the death of the actress and singer Hiromi. Our deepest condolences for her family and loved ones."

Marla Hiromi Hayakawa Salas was born in Fukuoka, Japan. She was the daughter of Alfonso Javier Hayakawa of Japanese origin and Lourdes Elsa Salas, of Mexican origin. At the age of 2, Hiromi and her parents returned to Mexico and lived in Coahuila and that's where she discovered her love for the arts. She participated in multiple plays at her university like "Que Plantón," "El Diluvio Que Viene" and "José El Soñador."

Hirome is most famous for participating in the third season of "La Academia," a competition reality show on TV Azteca. She was the twelfth evicted contestant and was placed seventh.

During her stint on "La Academia," Hiromi met Carlos Rivera and they soon started a relationship. The "El Rey León" star took some time to dedicate words after he found out about her passing.

"It was unforgettable the day that you came in to the Churubusco studios," he wrote. "We were rehearsing what would be our first concert on 'La Academia,' they had just cut your long hair up until your shoulders. You were like a little doll. My still young heart froze by your unique beauty. I would later discover your soul's beauty."

"Very few people know that you're the culprit of having me fall in love with musical theatre," he added. "You showed me how wonderful it was and you took me to my first play, the rest is history. I am eternally grateful for that. Your discipline and passion were always your stamp and I proudly saw how you became a big star on the Mexican theatre scene."

"Even though our paths separated many years ago, you were very important in my life," Rivera continued. "They say that you never forget your first love, that is why I will never forget you. As the song that I wrote about you goes, 'I will keep everything about us in memories...' We will miss you, your friends, your colleagues, the public and the stages. May God receive you in heave with your angel Julieta. That her light be of consolation to your husband and your family. With love and respect, Carlos."
