It is not known how she died and Dani did not suffer from any known health problems.
Her brother Andrew has now paid tribute to the mum in a moving post.
He also shared a touching image of the pair beaming with their arms around each other.
Andrew wrote: “On the 17th June, my beautiful sister Danielle was finally about to marry the love of her life Tom. Tragically, my sister never made it to the wedding.
“I wanted to have an opportunity to express just what Danielle meant to me and the void she is going to leave in all our lives.
“For as long as I can remember Danielle has been my best friend. I took great pleasure in taking the mick out of her at every opportunity and she reciprocated, but the love we had for each other was immeasurable.
“When people who didn’t know us asked if we got on well I would say perfectly, we never argued, just the very occasional brother and sister tiff.”
Andrew explained how he was filled with so much pride he wanted to “burst” when his sister got a job as a PR executive.

But he revealed her “greatest achievement” was being a mum to eight-month-old son Bowie.
Andrew said: “I promise you Danielle, the world will know just what an extraordinary human being Bowie’s mum was.
“The outpouring of love we have already witnessed is a testament to the wonderful person you were.
“I wish we could have just one last hug, drink, laugh together and I could have the opportunity to tell you, you were everything to me.
I will love you forever, my beautiful sister.”
The emotional post comes after Dani’s dad Martin Hampson paid tribute to his “little princess” following the tragedy.
Martin said the family has been left “devastated and utterly heartbroken” as he told his “sweetheart” to “sleep tight”.
Tributes have also flooded in for the publicist led by Nadine Coyle and Lewis Capaldi.
Dani had posted poignant photos on her Instagram in her final weeks including adorable snaps in May from a family trip to Sardinia.
Just weeks before, the proud mum also shared cute pictures of Bowie as they played in a park close to her home.
Dani also shared a video of Tom – who was part of the band Stereo Kicks – singing an acoustic version of Cold Heart by Dua Lipa and Elton John to the baby.
She wrote: “Happy 6 months my darling boy.
“I played this song almost every day of my 3rd trimester, it was in my labour playlist & it was number 1 the day Bowie was born… determined for it to be “our song” & for it always remind us of life’s good bits.”
Tom broke the devastating news Dani had passed away in a heartbreaking Instagram post on Monday.
He paid tribute to the “brightest light in any room” and said he would miss her “forever”.
‘CRIED AN OCEAN’
The singer said: “I can’t believe I am writing these words but my darling Dani – my best friend, my everything and more, the love of my life – passed away in the early hours of Saturday morning, 18th June.
“On what was supposed to be the happiest day of our lives ended in irreversible heartbreak.
“I feel like I have cried an ocean. We never made it to the alter; or got to say our vows, or dance our first dance, but I know you know that you were my entire world and the best thing that has ever happened to me, Danielle.
“I will wear this ring that I was always supposed to wear as a sign of my unconditional love to you.”
Tom told how he planned to raise Bowie alone in Dani’s memory.
He added: “I am completely broken trying to process this and I honestly don’t know where to go from here, but I do know I need to use any strength I can muster for our little boy.
“I will not be a mark on the parent that you had already become but I promise I will do my everything to raise Bowie just the way we always wanted. I promise you he will know how amazing his mummy was. I promise to make you so so proud.
“The most beautiful person inside and out. The most incredible soul. We have lost such a special person and I am sure we are about to see an abundant outpouring of love that reflects that. I will try to find peace in your messages and comments, but right now I am grieving and I will be for a very, very long time.”
