Announcing the news of her death on Twitter, ex-girlfriend and former Coronation Street star Amanda Barrie wrote: "Remembering the fabulous Heather Chasen who sadly left us yesterday. She was wonderfully eccentric, gloriously funny, and a very special actress. There'll never be another like her. Will always miss her."
