Reality star Anna Nicole Smith is dead, her lawyer told FOX News Thursday.

Smith was found unresponsive Thursday in her Hard Rock Hotel room in Hollywood, Fla., FOX affiliate WSVN is reporting.

Emergency responders performed CPR at the scene and a breathing apparatus was inserted in her throat, hotel officials told TMZ.com. Smith was immediately transported to Memorial Regional Hospital in Hollywood just after 2 p.m. EST.

Local streets were closed off to rush Smith to the hospital, three miles away. Paramedics were seen pumping her chest as she was taken from the hotel.

Smith, 39, was hospitalized for a week last November with pneumonia. She was photographed at a boxing match at the Hard Rock Hotel last month.

In a lawsuit filed last Thursday in Los Angeles Superior Court, Smith and TrimSpa Inc. were sued in a class-action lawsuit alleging their marketing of a weight-loss pill is false or misleading.

Smith, a former Playboy Playmate, has endorsed TrimSpa and is a spokeswoman.

Smith's 20-year-old son Daniel Smith died in his mother's hospital room in the Bahamas in September, three days after she gave birth to a baby girl, later named Dannielynn Hope Marshall Stern.

Smith's current boyfriend and longtime lawyer Howard K. Stern, 38, says he is the father of Dannielynn. But Smith's ex-boyfriend Larry Birkhead, 32, claims he's the father, and has sued to demand a paternity test.

Last month, a judge in the baby dispute temporarily blocked an order forcing her daughter to undergo paternity testing.

Ronald A. Rale, an attorney for Smith, questioned the legality of the test, saying Bahamian authorities needed to grant work permits before an American doctor could conduct the test.

The judge granted a stay pending a hearing which was supposed to take place this week.

Birkhead's attorney, Debra Opri, called Rale's request "a delay tactic." Birkhead sued in October to get a paternity test.

Anna Nicole Smith was born Vickie Lynn Hogan in Houston, Texas, on Nov. 27, 1968.

As a teenager, she worked at a fried chicken restaurant, and married Billy Smith at age 17 in 1985. The same year she had son Daniel Smith, but then divorced Billy and became a single mother in 1987.

Smith worked a string of minimum wage jobs before turning to stripping. She met oil mogul J. Howard Marshall II in 1991 in Houston at a nightclub, where he was a frequent patron and she worked as an exotic dancer.

Smith married Marshall, 63 years older than she, on June 27, 1994. She was 26, he was 89.

I wonder who gets the custody of the daughter... very sad indeed. I think Anna Nicole died of a overdose of drugs.

Honestly... people care about this piece of filth?

I think it's more that they do not want to look callous, but for those of us who are honest with ourselves have no such compunction ;)

I thought I was going to have to ask this question after seeing a bunch of "boo-hoo" posts. I don't see how her death is somehow any more sad than the death of any other individual.

I'm partial to the "Her lawyer knocked her up and killed her and her son to get the millions" theory. It's dime store mystery novel perfect.

As the poem goes, each man's death diminishes me, for I am involved in mankind.

Don't care about Anna. Am sad about her 6-month old daughter. Hopefully at least she gets some of that money-grubbing whore's fortune.

Oops, did I crap in a condolences thread?

Wouldn't it be ironic if the very weight loss "drug" that she had endorsed, and just a couple days ago was sued for, was the very thing that ate up some important major organ, and caused her death?? Seems anything you ingest, that causes rapid weight loss, tends to eat your heart, liver, etc.....and yet, people never learn!

Wow... lots of harsh vibes towards Anna Nicole. She was harmless, and besides... she had a smokin' rack.

I actually feel really bad for her and her family. She always struck me as a sad figure, and a person with a perfectly decent soul. The premature deaths of her son and her are sad, and I hope they are both in a better place.

books and movies to follow by those that "knew her best."

i look at her as a dirt-poor scrapper who clawed her way to fame and fortune by burning both ends of the candle and paid for it ala jimi hendrix/janis joplin.

RIP Anna.
