A Big Brother star has died.
35-year-old Mickey Lee's family confirmed that she had suffered multiple cardiac arrests and the news was shared on her Instagram profile on 26 December.
It was revealed earlier this week that she had been taken to hospital after "a series of cardiac arrests following complications from the flu." A GoFundMe was set up in her honour in hopes to raise money to cover the medical bills.
A post shared on her Instagram page read: "Many of you know Mickey Lee from Big Brother (CBS) where she became one of the most talked about houseguests on Season 27. A vibrant, strategic, and unforgettable personality, Mickey captured the attention of fans with her energy, authenticity and bold gameplay."
"Originally from Jacksonville, Florida and based in Atlanta, Georgia, she brought charm and fierce competition to the Big Brother house as an event curator and creative force. Today, we're coming together with heavy hearts to ask for your support."
The post explained that Mickey had "recently suffered a series of cardiac arrests following complications from the flu" and at the time was "in the ICU in critical but stable condition".
Down in the comment section, fans wished her well with one writing: "Wait what! I'm so sorry Mickey!! Sending my love & praying for a speedy recovery."
"Wishing you much love and prayers to you and your loved one," said another comment while a third read: "Thinking of you and your family Mickey."
