“Sadly, Niece took her own life after a long battle with mental health issues,” her family told TMZ. “She was very open with her followers about her struggles, even wanting to help followers who also suffered. Niece was more than her struggles. She was beautiful and kind, sensitive and funny, creative and talented, generous and compassionate, thoughtful and challenging. While it is so very painful to say goodbye, we take comfort knowing she is reunited with her father, her three grandparents, her Uncle Rusty, and her beloved Puff; and that she is now free to be herself and, finally, at peace.”
Niece had over 4 million followers on Instagram, but fans became concerned when she wiped a majority of her posts from her page in the past few weeks.
Her family plans to start a non-profit in her honor, “Peace from Niece.”
Our continued thoughts are with Niece‘s friends, family, and loved ones during this time. RIP.
