RIP

"Grandma Bev" the fan favorite matriarch from MTV's "Siesta Key" has died ... TMZ has learned.

Her grandson, Pauly Paul tells TMZ ... Beverly Breslyn, known to viewers as Grandma Bev, died Sunday morning in Sarasota, FL-- the town where the hit reality show was filmed. Pauly says she had been living with him for the past two years as she battled dementia.

Pauly, who was raised by Bev from the time he was a baby, says the loss is devastating and admits he’s broken. He tells us this is one of the worst days of his life. Still, he’s finding strength in honoring her legacy by changing his life and going back to church to find peace because that’s what she would want.

Thousands of people from across the country came together to honor the slain Charlie Kirk ... with President Donald Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance among the guest speakers remembering Charlie.

Turning Point USA -- the conservative nonprofit organization founded by Kirk in 2012 -- hosted a memorial service Sunday in Arizona ... more than a week after the commentator was shot to death in a shocking instance of political violence.

This event was separate from Kirk's funeral. Kirk's org spared no expense for the celebration of life, titled "Building A Legacy: Remembering Charlie Kirk" ... they tapped POTUS and the Veep as guests of honor, alongside Kirk's widow, Erika.

The memorial being held to honor Charlie Kirk is being treated like a Super Bowl level occasion and is categorized as a SEAR Level 1 event -- which means it's given the highest level of national security priority.

A DHS Senior Official tells TMZ, "The Department of Homeland Security has designated the upcoming funeral and memorial service as a Special Event Assessment Rating (SEAR) Level 1 event. This designation is reserved for events of the highest national significance and enables the federal government to provide the full range of law enforcement and security resources necessary to support local officials in ensuring a safe and successful event."

Thousands have gathered at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona to honor the life and legacy of the founder of Turning Point USA.

Erika Kirk is holding tight to a heartbreaking reminder of her late husband Charlie Kirk -- the blood stained pendant he was wearing when he was gunned down less than two weeks ago.

In an interview with The New York Times, Erika revealed she now wears the small St. Michael icon that was ripped from Charlie's body by medics as they fought to stop the bleeding at the Turning Point USA event in Utah. The tiny cross still carries traces of his blood in its crevice ... a haunting memento of the moment America lost the conservative activist.

The Arizona DPS and Secret Service tell TMZ the man informed Secret Service agents he was armed when they approached him, and he falsely claimed to be a member of law enforcement. Officials say he is not affiliated with law enforcement.

Civil rights attorney Ben Crump, who is representing the Reed family, released a statement on Friday ... revealing Kap's Know Your Rights Camp Autopsy Initiative will fund a separate autopsy as the family challenges the Mississippi State Medical Examiner's Office's initial ruling.

Final toxicology results are still pending, and can take between 2 and 4 weeks, police noted. They also said "all files and investigative material" have been sent to the FBI and the U.S. Attorney's Office for further review.

An attorney for the family of De'Martravion "Trey" Reed says cops initially told Trey's relatives he was found dead in his dorm ... even though police told the media he was found hanging from a tree on his college's campus ... but law enforcement says the family is mistaken.

Here's the deal ... cops in Mississippi announced Monday they had found Trey's body hanging from a tree on campus at Delta State University and said foul play was not suspected.

Attorney Vanessa Jones is representing the Reed family and on Tuesday she told the Mississippi Free Press, the university and Bolivar County officials were leaving Trey's family in the dark.

Charlie Sheen doesn't believe Matthew Perry was sober the year before his death ... which he finds ironic given the "Friends" star was promoting a book about his sobriety at the time.

The actor made the bold claim on "Piers Morgan Uncensored" Tuesday, where he said he "could tell" Perry wasn't sober on the press tour for his memoir, “Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing,” which dropped a year before his fatal overdose in October 2023.

Remember, Perry claimed to be 19 months sober when his book dropped in November 2022.

The New York Mets broadcast paid tribute to Robert Redford just hours after the legendary Oscar-winning actor and director died on Tuesday, recreating his iconic home run from "The Natural!"

As he rounded the bases, the cameras panned up to the Citi Field lights, which gave off a fireworks/explosion-like effect.
