Dannii Erskine who rose to fame for her stint on Australian reality show Bride and Prejudice fame has died aged 28.
The TV star's family confirmed the heartbreaking news of her sudden death on social media.
They announced that the 28-year-old had passed away on April 28, after a devastating, fatal accident as tributes have flooded in from family and friends.
Dannii found fame on the 2019 season of Bride and Prejudice: The Forbidden Weddings as she made a bid to marry her partner, Denton Ansley, which caused a rift among the family, reports the Mirror.
Sharing the news of her tragic death, a family member took to Dannii's Instagram to share a photo of her alongside the devastating announcement.
"28/04 took Dannii's life to a speeding driver – an awful accident," it read before adding: "We appreciate and respect wishes we have received as a family.
"The account is going to be deleted in the next day. Thank you for your support and respect."
Devastated relatives took to Dannii's Instagram stories not long after the heartbreaking announcement to share a snap of the late star alongside the caption: "Rest well Dans.
"Funeral arrangements are in the process if you haven’t received a message privately and are interested in saying goodbye."
Meanwhile, Dannii's sister Dee opened up about the death of her sibling, explaining that a drunk driver had crashed into her at a junction.
Speaking to SoDramatic! she said: "As she went through a green light, a driver was intoxicated and T-boned her," before explaining that at the time of the accident, she was alive and was rushed to hospital.
Dee continued to say that her sister's "skull was crushed upon impact with the airbag", before stating that she was "pronounced braindead" at 12:01am on April 29, before her life support machines were switched off shortly before 6am.
"She was 28. Full of life and trying her best to move on and meet someone. Now she won’t get that chance," she continued.
It comes as Dannii had a turbulent time on the programme, as producers were forced to step in when a heated confrontation between the siblings became physical.
The late star came to loggerheads with her family when her mum Donna claimed Denton had been attempting to replace Dannii's dad who had died six months prior to the show being filmed.
Dannii stood her ground against both her mum and Dee and defended her partner, demanding they both apologised for their comments following the hurling insults in Denton's direction.
"You walked in there so smug, and so smart! What you're saying doesn't have logic behind it! You're not making any sense at all," she fumed.
