Paying tribute to the star, one fan on Twitter wrote: “May she rest in peace and have sweet dreams. Very sad news. Hope she is having sweet dreams.”

Another tribute branded her: “a beautiful woman inside and out”.

A Ghostbusters fan site added: “We here at Ghostbusters News offer our condolences to Herrin’s family and friends, along with thanking longtime reader Matthew Ballard for providing us the heads on the passing.”

The actress appeared in a number of classic 80s films

Speaking about about Herrin’s character, Aykroyd said: “I don’t miss anything that we didn’t use. The ghost in the fort — the seduction ghost — in paranormal research that’s a common thing, ghosts doing sexual things to people.

“I have a friend who had three women visit him in a haunted house in Louisiana, and it was one of the greatest nights of his life. But in under two hours, you obviously can’t have everything.”
