The influencer community has suffered a tragic loss.
Alysha Burney—who amassed millions of followers across YouTube and TikTok by posting viral parody videos—died in her sleep on March 2 while vacationing in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, her brother Charles Burney confirmed to FOX4 News. She was 25.
“I come with great sadness that my little sister Alysha Burney has passed,” Charles wrote in a statement on Instagram March 10. “PLEASE allow our family time to grieve during this time.”
Her official cause of death has not been shared.
Alysha’s brother went on to shut down unsubstantiated rumors that have spread online about how she passed away.
“It is extremely difficult seeing all of the false narratives trying to defame her legacy,” Charles continued, “and we are ready to take legal action for those continuing to spread false information regarding her passing.”
Closing out his message, Charles expressed his gratefulness from those who have shown their support during the challenging time and emphasized that his family needed privacy to grieve their loss. As he explained, “We know so many people care about her and will share more information soon but just give us some time and please stop harassing the family.”
