We Remember: TV Psychic Miss Cleo Dead at 53

*We have sad news to report. We’ve just learned of the passing of Miss Cleo, the iconic TV and phone psychic personality. She died after a long battle with cancer. She was 53.

A rep told TMZ that Miss Cleo, whose real name was Youree Harris, died Tuesday morning in Palm Beach County, FL. She was recently hospitalized, but was discharged last week to a hospice center.

We’re told Cleo was originally diagnosed with colon cancer … but it spread to her liver and lungs.

The rep said Cleo remained a “pillar of strength” during her illness … and died surrounded by family and friends.

Cleo’s Jamaican character and her psychic commercials became a cult classic in the late ’90s … thanks to her catchphrase, “CALL ME NOW!”

By the way, she was not a native of Jamaica. Miss Cleo was actually born in L.A. She just nailed the accent.

After the Psychic Readers Network closed shop, Cleo bounced around to various jobs … including voicing a character in the video game, “Grand Theft Auto: Vice City.”

Harris would have turned 54 on Aug. 12.

RIP, Miss Cleo!
