Geordie Shore star Holly Hagan-Blyth has tragically revealed that her little sister Darci has died at the age of 19
Holly Hagan-Blyth has announced her 19-year-old sister has tragically died. The Geordie Shore star took to social media this morning to confirm that her sister, Darci, “passed away peacefully holding my hand surrounded by family & her best friends. She was never in any pain.”
The reality star added: “The last 4 days have been something I hope no family ever has to go through. We are traumatised in every sense of the word. One day we will share Darci’s story.
“But for now I please ask that you do respect our privacy and allow us to process what has happened. I would like to ask the press to please refrain from speculating and writing stories that could further traumatise my family. They do not deserve that. I chose this job they did not.
“To the incredible ambulance crew, and everyone at Manchester Royal Infirmary A&E & ICU, thank you so much for giving my sister the absolute best chance. Because of you all we have had the opportunity to hold her hand, stroke her hair and feel her heart beating for the last time. We will forever be grateful for the way you have looked after her and us throughout this unimaginable process.
“Right now, my job is to support my family in any way that I can to ensure they don’t have to worry about work/finances. Any posts you see this month are pre-recorded and scheduled ahead of time. I will be continuing to work so they do not have to.”
Holly continued: “Darci is so beautiful and she genuinely didn’t even realise it. I always told her she’d look better without the huge spider lashes but we all know what a hypocrite I was being since I wore 9 pairs at her age! She lived in Darci world, forgetting to turn lights off, didn’t know how to lock doors after coming in from a night out, leaving the freezer open so my mam came down to a puddle of defrosted food.
“She was the best aunty, Alpha-Jax adored her. She spent his whole birthday on the bouncy castle with AJ and Alba, and that’s a memory I’ll cherish forever. She wanted to go into social work, after finding a passion for helping children. And I just know she’s looking after all the babies up there
“I don’t know if I’m behaving in a way I assumed I would when grieving but I genuinely feel she has given me so much strength and is watching over us all as our guardian angel. We love you so much baby girl. Forever 19.”
Holly’s tragic announcement was flooded with messages of condolences from fans and her friends. Charlotte’s close friend and former Geordie Shore co-star, Charlotte Crosby said: “I’m blessed to have known such a beautiful girl! Alpha Jaxs birthday will be how I will remember your beautiful sister Darci. Alba spent all day playing with her!
“She naturally gravitated to her because Darci radiated warmth and sunshine! So kind and caring. Reading this post has broke my heart. I love you so much Holly sending so much love to you your mam and John.” “Holly, im so so sorry for you and your families loss. I’m sending you all love and hugs,” typed Nathan Henry.
Holly’s ex-boyfriend, Kyle Christie said: “So sorry to hear this Holly my heart is broken for all of you, if you need anything from any of us we’re all here for you and your family.” Sophie Kasaei, Holly’s friend and former co-star commented: “A family should never have to go through this ever. I wish I could take this pain away my amazing Holly. Darci was and is an angel and will always be guiding you and your family. You have strength I admire and I’m so proud of you for having to keep the family together. I love you endlessly and we will be there for you through this journey of grief. Our angel Beautiful Darci.”
Kelsey Parker, the widow of singer Tom Parker said: “Sending you so much love.” Nicole Bass added: “This is truly heartbreaking. Sending you and your family love and prayers at this painful time.”
Shaughna Phillips responded: “Oh Holly I can’t believe what I’m reading. I am so so sorry for yours and your families loss, sending you all the love and prayers in the world.” “
