, died at the age of 24, and the cause of his death would have been an overdose, his family revealed in a statement sent to the 'New York Times'.
"It is with great regret that we share with you the news that our beloved son, Harry Brant, lost his battle with addiction and died due to an accidental overdose of prescription drugs," says the letter signed by his parents.
"He accomplished a lot in his 24 years, but we will never have the opportunity to see how much more Harry could have done," the document can read.
"Harry wasn't just our son. He was a wonderful brother, a loving grandson, a favorite uncle and a great friend," the family's statement continues.
"He was a creative, loving and powerful soul who brought light to the hearts of so many people. He was truly a beautiful person inside and out," the statement added.

She also launched a unisex makeup line with her brother
Peter Brant II

Both brothers were frequently described as the male version of
Paris

Nicky Hilton
.
In addition, they were recognized at the most popular parties in New York City and attended the main international fashion shows.
Her lifestyle unapologetically showed her beauty and economic power.
They used to appear on the best dressed lists and were called 'the most beautiful teenagers in New York' by 'New York' magazine.

Just a few days ago, his brother Peter was charged with assault after being involved in a fight with a Port Authority police officer at JFK airport, and has been booked more times in the past for late-night fights.
His mother, Stephanie Seymour, was a supermodel and at the time achieved much popularity outside the fashion circuit for her courtship with
Axl Rose
, lead singer of Guns'n Roses.
In 1995, she married press mogul Peter Brant in Paris, and although they filed for divorce in 2009, the following year they forgot about the separation.
According to the 'New York Times', Seymour had revealed that his son was about to enter a rehabilitation center this year, having struggled with addiction for a long time.
