Valerie Bertinelli is reflecting on Sinéad O'Connor's influence on her personal music taste.

News of O'Connor's death was reported on Wednesday afternoon, after the singer reportedly passed away on Tuesday night, according to reports.

Tributes for the "Nothing Compares 2 U" singer began pouring in on social media on Wednesday, following the announcement of O'Connor's passing at 56. Many cited O'Connor's vulnerability and influence on the music world.

In addition to Bertinelli's decade-spanning career as an actress, the "One Day At A Time" alumna knows a thing or two about music. She was married to the late Eddie Van Halen for over 20 years.

The "Losing It" author took to Instagram to commemorate O'Connor's memory and share some insight into her personal relationship with O'Connor's music.

O'Connor became a household name following some years of college radio and alternative chart success following the release of "Nothing Compares 2 U." The track was written and originally performed by Prince.

The music video primarily focuses on a striking shot of O'Connor's face. At the end, she sheds a single tear.

Bertinelli penned her tribute to O'Connor on Wednesday afternoon on Instagram.

Posting the LP's cover, Bertinelli wrote, "Opening with the Serenity Prayer and leading into some of the most beautiful and thought provoking songs, most of which were written by Sinéad, I Do Not Want What I Haven’t Got is one of my all time favorite albums. Her songwriting was just so powerful and heartfelt it opened up the way I looked at the world. I think I still know every word to every song as it was on repeat most of 1990. May you rest in peace you sweet, vulnerable, beautiful soul," she wrote alongside an emoji of a dove and a clear heart.

Many of Bertinelli's followers joined the Food Network star in remembering O'Connor in her comment section.

"I just love her so much. I was so in awe (and still am) of her intelligence and philosophies when I’d see her speak in various interviews in her early 20s. Such an old soul and so ahead of her time. I’m just so sad today. ?," a fan wrote.

"It really was some of the best songwriting of our time. I felt seen when listening to her music. So sad about how much she suffered. ?," another follower chimed in.

"Love this album so much! She was such a beautiful singer and lyricist?," an admirer of O'Connor wrote.

"I’m listening to this album as well. My heart is broken ?," a listener chimed in.

"Part of my growing up and questioning long held norms. She was a bada**. I hope she knew her impact," a listener added.

"Such an amazing album— one of my favorites! ??? RIP," another listener wrote.

"I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got" was originally released in March of 1990. The LP was her second, following 1987's "The Lion and the Cobra." O'Connor's most recent release was "I'm Not Bossy, I'm The Boss," released nine years ago. (all info via Allmusic.)
