She shared the news with her followers via Instagram, announcing her sister passed away in the early hours of Sunday morning. She wrote: 'My sister passed away early this morning. We will miss her forever but trying to find comfort in knowing she is finally at peace and is hopefully bouncing around up there somewhere, doing what she loved most,' continuing 'Gymnastics, being with her friends and family, surrounded by nature, eating terrys chocolate orange or green and blacks almond chocolate. We will miss her infectious, incredibly loud, laugh forever.'
She finished the post by thanking her followers: 'Thank you to everyone, people I know and people I don't know who have always messaged to check in on her.'
