TikTok star Dazharia Shaffer died at 18.
Known online as Bxbygirlldee, the father of the young star, Joseph Santiago, confirmed on a GoFundMe page that his daughter died earlier this week.
“On February 8, my dazharia daughter left us earlier and was called [sic.] to fly with the angels, “he wrote.” She was my best friend and I was in no way prepared to bury my son. “
The Baton Rouge coroner’s office confirmed to Fox News that she died of suicide, but Louisiana law prevents them from sharing anything else. They also said she died on Tuesday, not Monday, as her father said online.

In his post, Santiago reminded Shaffer to be “so happy” and “so excited” to see him when he “would come home after being on the road”.
“I just wish she had talked to me about her stress and suicidal thoughts,” he continued. “We could work it out. I just want to hold you again, my little jelly bean. Now I’m coming home and yours [sic.] it won’t be there waiting for me anymore. I have to let you fly with the angels. Daddy loves you. “

Social media personality mom Jennifer also posted on Facebook, according to E! News.
“My heart is so broken,” she wrote on Tuesday. “I really can’t believe you’re going. I wish I was waiting for you to say it was a joke, but it’s not that I wish I had died instead of u … tear up my angel. Everyone talks about our bad times, but never talk about the good times #babygirldee. [sic]”

“I just want to thank everyone for the love and support for my daughter,” he wrote next to a video collage with photos of his daughter. “Unfortunately, she is no longer with us and has gone to a better place.”
