"Eden was in Madrid preparing to do some press work for her company Polyester, a company she absolutely adored working for, at a festival she had revisited for years with her closest friends. A few days before the festival took place Eden accidentally fell to her death from the accommodation she was staying at. This news saddens us all close to Eden more than words can comprehend right now.
"Due to the circumstances of Eden's death, we are having to pay to fly her body home from Spain to be with us so we can give her the send-off we know she would want and more than deserves.
"Any donations large or small are much appreciated during this devastating time.
"Love Cameron, Marian, Nick, Gina and the rest of Edens family and friends.
"The Jack The Lad charity is supporting us with arranging bringing Eden home to us; her family and friends. While the majority of any funds will go towards getting her home, her send off and ‘Purvey’, any extra money will be donated to this amazing charity."
