Singh had found fame after becoming a semifinalist on season 16 of America’s Got Talent.
His fiancée revealed to People that Singh had died on December 4, though his cause of death has not yet been confirmed.
TMZ was the first to report the talent show star’s death and stated that a toxicology test would be conducted to determine how he had died.
Insiders told the publication that Singh had reportedly been dealing with health concerns and that authorities believe he died of natural causes.
According to reports, the comedian had been in San Francisco at the time of his death.
Singh’s friend, Jeremy Curry, also paid tribute to the star on Facebook, sharing a photo of the two of them smiling together.
He told his followers: “It’s My Deepest Regrets to let Everyone Know that Kabir Singh has passed away…
“He passed away peacefully in his sleep and this is the most devastating post I’ve posted….
“Services will be Saturday December 14 at 8:30 am @ Chapel of the Chimes in Hayward… Please keep his family and fiancé in your thoughts and prayers….I Love you bro.”
As well as his appearance on America’s Got Talent in 2021, where he reached the semifinals, Singh also featured on Comedy Central, Family Guy, and the BBC, per his Instagram bio.
He had been performing stand-up comedy as recently as last month according to his social media profiles.
He’d won over the judges on America’s Got Talent by sharing jokes about his Indian background and his mother.
Singh told the audience: “I’ve had a rough week, my mom just learned how to start text messaging people.
“Does anyone’s mom text you? Worst thing that’s ever happened to me in my life.”

He went on to joke about the “useless” messages she was now able to send, such as: “Oh my god, the remote is not working.”
Singh received high praise from the judges, with Howie Mandel calling him “relatable” and “magnetic”, telling the comic: “America is going to love you.”
Our thoughts remain with Singh’s loved ones at this heartbreaking time.
