ATLANTA – Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes of the top selling female trio TLC was killed in a car crash in Honduras, her record company confirmed early Friday.

Lopes, 31, was in Honduras for a vacation, Arista Records senior vice president Laura Swanson told The Associated Press. Lopes was reportedly among seven people in the car and the only fatality.

"No words can possibly express the sorrow and sadness I feel for this most devastating loss," said Arista president L.A. Reid, who helped shape the career of the popular R&B group.

"Lisa was not only a gifted and talented musical inspiration, but more importantly, she was like a daughter to me. My thoughts and prayers are with Lisa's family and friends. Her legacy will be remembered forever."

TLC, which also included Tionne "T-Boz" Watkins and Rozonda "Chilli" Thomas, were the Grammy-winning group behind such hits as "Waterfall," "No Scrubs" and "Unpretty." Their latest album was "FanMail."
