Paramedics found the 26-year-old Miller unresponsive in his Los Angeles home on Sept. 7 and declared him dead soon after. An autopsy has been performed, but no cause has been announced.
He spoke frankly of his struggles with depression and substance abuse in his music.
Miller and the 25-year-old Grande, who is now engaged to “Saturday Night Live” star Pete Davidson, were in a two-year relationship that ended earlier this year.
She posted a wordless black and white photo of him on her Instagram post last weekend, but had not made any statements.
She ends Friday’s Instagram post by saying “above anything else, i’m so sorry i couldn’t fix or take your pain away. i really wanted to. the kindest, sweetest soul with demons he never deserved. i hope you’re okay now. rest.”
