Judd's daughters, country singer Wynonna and actress Ashley Judd, confirmed the artist's death in a statement on Saturday.

We lost our beautiful mother to the disease of mental illness," they wrote in a statement.

It said no further details about her death would be released and asked for privacy as the family grieves.

The mother-daughter performers scored 14 No. 1 songs in a career that spanned nearly three decades.
