According to Michellini, he spent two days at Street's bedside until she passed away peacefully while in a place with an overlooking view of "the most beautiful lake."
"Tonight I lost one of the best friends I ever had and the world lost a radio and music legend as befitting her staring role in the 'San Francisco Sounds' documentary movie that just came out recently," he continued. "She was all that and so much more. There will never be another Dusty Street. The queen is gone, but she'll never be forgotten."
Michellini did not confirm Street's cause of death, but he mentioned that the DJ went through numerous afflictions and fought them in the years leading to her death.
Meanwhile, fans and colleagues also filled the comments section with heartfelt messages for Street.
One said, "My condolences to you, her friends and family, and to all her listeners over the decades. I'm sorry you are grieving the loss of your friend but glad she had you by her side."
"So sorry for your loss, my friend. A loss I'm sure we all feel, to some extent. My heart is full, though, that you were able to meet her final challenge and transition together. My thoughts are with you and her family and friends," another wrote.
SiriusXM's official Facebook page also expressed how broken their people are after learning about Street's death.
The bereaved family has yet to share the details of her funeral and memorial.
