Liam Payne's sister has penned a heartbreaking tribute to her brother following his death earlier this week aged 31.

The former One Direction member died on Wednesday (October 16) at the age of 31 after falling from a third-floor balcony at the CasaSur hotel in Buenos Aires.

Many have paid tribute to the singer, including Simon Cowell, with his sister Ruth Gibbins now paying her respects.

Her statement, in part, reads: "I don't believe this is happening. Many times have I poured my heart out publicly with pride about Liam but never much about life as his sister.

"Liam is my best friend, no one could ever make me laugh as much as him, doing his impressions always had me creasing and he loved seeing how much of a laugh he could get.

"Liam knew he could call me anytime, any day and I would pick up or that I would always fetch him if he needed to just come home. Our calls would often result in me laughing at his ideas and next adventure, talking through his plans and working through his issues but it would always end with 'love you miss you' 'love you ru.'

"Liam was born with music in his veins, it was clear from a very young age he just had that quality that would make him a star. I could sit and listen to him sing all day, which is a good job really because he never bloody stopped! I will never tire of the look he gives when showing new songs, 'listen loud' he'd say and just grin with pride of his work.

"I keep notes on my phone 'things to tell liam' so that if he was away working for a while, I'd know what I needed to update him on. I suppose it's only right I tell him now."

The statement continued: "Liam, my brain is struggling to catch up with what's happening and I don't understand where you've gone.

just want to drive to your house and walk in to music blasting and find you sat there writing a song or walk in to your art phases and sit with you whilst you draw or craft.

What I love most about you is your ability to make me laugh, I never chuckle as much as I do when I'm with you with anyone else.

"Thank you for changing my life, thank you for the incredible memories, thank you for being the best brother and friend I'll ever have! We'll take care of Bear and he will always know how incredible his Dad is and how much you idolise him. I'm sorry I couldn't save you."
