Golden-voiced contestant Kerry ? who was in a wheelchair when she made it through to the ITV1 show's final rounds in 2006 ? was just 37.
Cowell, 52, said of her death from bladder cancer: "I really admired Kerry and my thoughts now go out to all of her family and friends."
Sharon Osbourne, 59 ? Kerry's mentor on the series which Leona Lewis went on to win ? also took to Twitter. She said: "So sad about Kerry McGregor's passing. Much love and respect to her and her family."
The singer, of West Lothian, leaves partner Dean Robertson, 36, and son Joshua, seven.
Upset ... Simon Cowell's Twitter message
She was crippled in an accident at 13 but pursued her dream of singing and acting ? appearing in a Channel 4 sitcom. She had been fighting cancer since 2009.
Susan Boyle said Kerry's X Factor appearance gave her the courage to enter Britain's Got Talent. They became friends and were due to record a duet, a cover of Susan's Wings To Fly.
