How sad.  Our prayers are with her family

(CNN) -- CNN affiliate KATV in Little Rock, Arkansas, said Saturday evening that its morning anchorwoman, Anne Pressly, died. She was 26 years old.

Anne Pressly, 26, was a popular morning news anchor at KATV in Little Rock, Arkansas.

Pressly was found beaten early Monday at her home. She was hospitalized and sedated.

Pressly's parents released a statement, saying they were "with her in her last moments." They also asked for "the privacy we need at this very difficult time," KATV reported.

Police said Pressly was apparently not targeted but was attacked during the course of a burglary. Her purse was missing.

Pressly had a brief role as a TV commentator in Oliver Stone's film "W.," released in theaters this month.
