According to reports this evening, the rapper's body was found at his home in the San Fernando Valley outside LA at around midday on Friday.
TMZ has reported that he was pronounced dead at the scene.
Miller, real name, Malcolm James McCormik, has been open about his drug issues in his music, notably on his 2014 mixtape 'Faces'.
The rapper had a high profile relationship with Ariana Grande which ended earlier this year.
Ariana has had to block her comments on social media since the news came out as people were leaving her hate comments.
Our thoughts are with his family at this difficult time.

I dont know what to say Mac Miller took me on my second tour ever. But beyond helping me launch my career he was one of the sweetest guys I ever knew. Great man. I loved him for real. Im completely broken. God bless him.

I’m so heartbroken about Mac Miller. I met him when he was 18 when I worked for Barstool. So many people said they came to the show just to see him. His fans loved him so much. I’m so sad for his friends and family. He will be missed.
