Ensa Cosby, the daughter of comedian Bill Cosby, has died from renal disease.

She was 44. “Please keep the Cosby family in your prayers and give them peace at this time,’’ Cosby’s spokesman, Andrew Wyatt, said Monday.

He did not reveal any other details of Ensa Cosby’s death Friday in Massachusetts.

Ensa Cosby was a fierce supporter of her father when he was accused of sexual assault in 2014. “I believe that racism has played a big role in all aspects of this scandal,” she wrote in a statement released along with her sister Erinn.
