'She got her letter from the King to celebrate her century, last night she rested in peace. RIP,' she continued alongside a pink love heart emoji.
The sad news comes after Naomi lost another grandparent earlier this year.
In August, Naomi shared how her 'nanna' Nikki Roberts had passed away, three weeks after having a stroke.
She also paid tribute to her 'no-nonsense' grandmother in a lengthy tribute.
She told how her grandmother had lived until her 99th birthday after suffering a stroke, achieving her goal of having one last party with all her family members.
Sharing one picture featuring four generations of her family, Naomi praised her grandmother's enduring legacy and admitted it is an emotional time for her family.

'My darling Nanna has left this world but her spirit will never leave us,' the Mulholland Drive star began the touching post.
'I'm truly blessed to have had the most wonderful relationship with her. She is such a huge part of who I am: her core values, her work ethic, and her mischievous humor and joy of life.'
'My mum and aunts are all in pieces today, but we know what a great life she had,' Naomi continued.
'She just kept cracking on because she loved her life and her family. She lived three more weeks after a massive stroke because, in full beast mode, she showed us that when she was finally ready to 'peg it - she'd peg it'.
'She had one more goal to meet. Her 99th birthday!! One more party. One more family gathering.'

'I'll never forget her wicked laugh, her feisty spirit, her no-nonsense attitude, her no waste policy,' she exclaimed.
'She'd be trimming the mold off the bread and cheese: 'you don't need an expiration date— that's what a nose is for! May her stories and memories live on.'
