Social media sensation Dazharia, known online as Bxbygirlldee, passed away on Monday, February 8, at the age of 18.
The teen’s parents confirmed the news of their daughter’s death on Tuesday, February 9 in a statement posted on their GoFundMe page.
“On February 8, my daughter Dazharia left us early and they were called to fly with the angels,” Joseph Santiago, Dazharia’s father, shared. ‘She was my little best friend and I was in no way prepared to bury my child. She was so happy and would be so excited to see me when I get home. [sic]”
“I just wish she would have talked to me about her stress and the thoughts of suicide. We can work through this,” he added. “I just want to hold my little jelly bean for you again. Now I’m coming home and you will no longer be there waiting for me. I have to make you fly with the angels. Daddy loves you. [sic]”
