Victorian Labor Senator Kimberley Kitching has died suddenly in Melbourne at the age of 52.
It's been reported that she suffered a heart attack earlier this afternoon.
Prime Minister Scott Morrison tweeted that he was "deeply saddened" by the news of her death.
"Our deepest condolences go to her family, friends and colleagues."
Opposition Leader Anthony Albanese also tweeted about the news, saying that "the Labor family is in shock tonight."
"Kimberley will be missed by us all."

Kitching was sworn in as a Senator on November 7, 2016 - later becoming the Shadow Assistant Minister for Government Accountability & Deputy Manager of Opposition Business in the Senate.
