"The Cosby Family thanks many people for their prayers for their beloved and beautiful Ensa, who recently died from renal disease," he said.
Being a staunch defender of her father, she had previously said that while she values her private life, she could no longer sit quietly anymore.
"The accusations against my father have been one-sided from the beginning. When he tried to defend himself, he was sued in civil court. I've seen the accusations become more horrific and extreme with time, and I've witnessed my father's reputation and legendary works be dismissed without any proof," Ensa stated.
She previously claimed that the media had been publicly lynching her father, who she claims is innocent. Furthermore, Ensa has stated that racism had also played a significant role in the scandal her father has been involved in.
"I strongly believe my father is innocent of the crimes alleged against him, and I believe that racism has played a big role in all aspects of this scandal," she stated.
About five dozen women have accused the comedian of sexual assault, with most of the accusations going as far back as the 1960s. Ensa's death comes a few months before the 80-year-old is scheduled for a retrial.
