“So very saddened by the loss of this beautiful accomplished young woman,” Knowles, 71, wrote via Instagram on Friday, January 31. “Rest in peace to her family sending condolences and love to you.”
She added, “God bless your soul, Kiah.”
Knowles also shared a graphic with Duggins’ portrait, which read, “Rest in Peace. Professor Kiah Duggins was among those lost in last night’s plane crash in D.C. Professor Duggins was set to begin a new chapter as a professor at Howard University School of Law this fall. May her memory be an inspiration to all.”
News broke on Wednesday, January 29, that a commercial American Airlines plane traveling from Wichita, Kansas, crashed in the Potomac River after a collision with a military helicopter. There were reportedly four crew members and 60 passengers on board, including Duggins.
Howard University is an HBCU located in Washington, D.C., and the school’s president later issued a tribute to Duggins.
“It is with profound sadness that the Howard University community and the Howard University School of Law have learned of the passing of Professor Kiah Duggins, who was among those lost in the mid-air plane collision at Reagan National Airport,” Dr. Ben Vinson III said in a Thursday, January 30, X statement. “We ask for privacy and respect for Professor Duggins’ family, students and colleagues during this difficult time.”
The university’s official X page reposted Vinson’s message before sharing a longer obituary via LinkedIn.
“We ask for privacy and respect for Professor Duggins’ family, students, and colleagues during this difficult time. Plans to honor her legacy will be shared in coming days,” the statement read, in part. “We encourage our community to seek any support they may need.”
Duggins had recently accepted a position as a faculty member at Howard’s law school. She previously worked as a civil rights attorney.
“She dedicated her career to fighting against unconstitutional policing and unjust money bail practices in Tennessee, Texas and Washington, D.C,” the university statement added.
In addition to Duggins’ passing, there were also 14 youth figure skaters onboard the aircraft. The amateur athletes were traveling home from the U.S. Figure Skating Team’s development camp held in Wichita earlier this month.
“We are devastated by this unspeakable tragedy and hold the victims’ families closely in our hearts,” a statement from the organization read. “We will continue to monitor the situation and will release more information as it becomes available.”
In a social media post, Alba, 43, shared a message from Stråla Yoga founder Tara Stiles about the power of healing.
“Soft is the new strong,” the quote read via Alba’s Instagram Story on Thursday, January 30. “Soft has been waiting all along.”
The Honest Company cofounder also included a snippet of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young’s hit song “Our House” to play in the background of the post. The 1970 track is a love song believed to be about the carefree early stages of a relationship.
In recent weeks, Alba has shared several cryptic quotes via her Instagram Story as she adjusts to a new chapter of her life.
Earlier this month, the Fantastic Four actress reposted a message from writer Yung Pueblo that read: “How do you build a good life? Relentlessly follow your intuition. Build with people who also love to grow. Take responsibility for your healing. Love yourself so deeply that you feel at home in your own body and mind. Teach yourself to forgive. Never stop being a kind person.”
On January 8, news broke that Alba and Warren, 36, had recently separated and were preparing to file for divorce after 16 years of marriage.

One week later, Alba herself addressed her decision to separate from the Pair of Thieves cofounder.
“I’ve been on a journey of self-realization and transformation for years — both as an individual and in partnership with Cash,” Alba wrote via Instagram on January 16. “I’m proud of how we’ve grown in our marriage over the last 20 years and it’s now time for us to embark on a new chapter of growth and evolution as individuals.”
Alba — who shares Honor, 16, Haven, 13, and Hayes, 6, with Warren — assured fans that both parents are “moving forward with love, kindness and respect for each other and will forever be family.”
While Warren has not publicly commented on the split, a source previously told Us that he’s “been slowly moving things out of their house.” The recent Los Angeles fires, however, gave the couple the chance to spend “more time under one roof as a family.”
“They are good parents and partners in business together but lost their spark and grew apart,” a source told Us. “Jessica and Cash made the decision together that this was no longer working or healthy for anyone.”

Maynard, meanwhile, married Tyler Johnson in June 2014. They share sons Jennings, born in July 2015, Gibson, born in September 2016 and Gatlin, born in November 2017.

Nine months after being granted a conservatorship over his wife, Mavis Leno, Jay Leno is sharing an update on how they are doing.
While talking with People about his new movie, Midas Man, Leno also opened up about life with his wife of 44 years since she was diagnosed with dementia.
“You try to find the humor in this situation,” he told People, recalling a recent shopping trip he took his wife on.
“I can see she’s a little down, [so I said], ‘Come on, we’ll go to the mall.’ So we go to Nordstrom and I said, ‘You see anything you like?’ ‘No, no.’ So we look at the shoes, and [she says], ‘Oh, I like these sneakers.'”

Seeing the happy look on Mavis’s face when she found a pair of shoes she liked elated Leno. So much so, People reports that he encouraged Mavis to pick out another pair she liked.
“I see she’s happy, and I said, ‘This is great.’ So I got two pairs of sneakers, and [the cashier says] ‘That’s $24. And the other pair, that’s $847,'” he continued.
“I go, ‘No, I only had two pairs of sneakers. I thought these were $24.’ [The cashier] goes, ‘Yeah, these are $24. But the other ones were [designer sneakers]. It looked like the guy took a pair of the same sneakers and used a bedazzler on them, and they were $800,” Leno joked.
“I look at my wife and said, ‘You like these?’ I go, ‘Honey, you look great.'”
Leno said he ultimately paid the bill, adding that he’s “glad I can afford this and it made my wife happy. It just made me laugh. Just typical.”
“I thought the $24 pair looked better than those, but that’s OK. It just made me laugh, and I think when you’re dealing with this kind of thing,” referring to Mavis’s battle with dementia, “you find your moments where you can have a laugh and have fun, and my wife really likes them and felt good about it.”
“So the fact that it was the same pair of sneakers that got hit with a bedazzler, I guess that’s fine. But it just made me laugh, and that’s pretty much what it is,” he told People.
Leno was granted conservatorship over Mavis in April 2024.
At the time, Mavis’ lawyers confirmed that they were “in agreement” with Leno’s move to become Mavis’ conservator, adding that she is “receiving excellent care with her husband, Mr. Leno.”
The judge agreed, saying, “I think she’s in the least restrictive environment. I think she’s in very good care with Mr. Leno.” As People reports, the judge then directed his statements at Leno.

“Everything you’re doing is right,” the judge told Leno. “I totally understand this is a difficult period.”
In a 2014 interview with The Washington Post where Mavis opened up about her decision to not have any children, she called Leno the“the single kindest human being I ever met.”
“People say marriage is difficult,” Leno shared while at Feminist Majority Foundation’s 16th Annual Global Women’s Rights Awards Gala in May 2024.
“I don’t get it. I enjoy her company. I enjoy taking care of her. We have fun. She’s the most independent woman I ever knew. Again, I just couldn’t be prouder of her.”
The decision was made two days after the tragic collision of American Airlines passenger plane with a U.S. Army Black Hawk helicopter in Washington, D.C.
The 'Casino' star says she hopes people “look at me and know” they can fight to survive — and has an urgent warning for people who may be having symptoms
