With social media, people who would have never had their 15 minutes of fame are now known the world over.
One of those personalities was Annabelle Ham, a 22-year-old YouTube sensation who made her bones on social media by launching a lifestyle channel.
Sadly, she passed away on July 15, as was confirmed by her family, reported the New York Post.
Shocking Death
Her family did not go into too many details, but they did say the young lady died after an "epileptic event."
Her sister, Amelia, posted details on Instagram, stating, "Annabelle was such a light to the world. A spark-plug. If you knew Annabelle, you loved her and loved being around her. She loved others so well too. Please keep my family in your prayers.
"You would never think something like this would or could happen to you until it does. Annabelle was such a good sister to Alexandria, and me. She was amazing, she has gone to so many places seen and done so many things. She was so sweet, so pretty, with the most bluest eyes ever, she was always happy and lighted up every room.
"I know she always wanted to live life to the fullest, that's what we have to do now. And I know she is dancing around in heaven right now. I can't wait to give u a big hug one day. Thank u everyone for the sweet messages, we will let family and friends know when we have further details," reported EOnline.
After launching her channel, Ham had over 78,000 YouTube subscribers and more than 100,000 followers on Tiktok and Instagram.
She is a Georgia native, often sharing little pieces of her college life, including life inside the Alpha Omicron Pi Sorority.
It is just crushing when we have to report these youngsters with such bright futures that have their lives snuffed out so prematurely when there is so much bad and evil in this country right now.
Rest in peace, Annabelle.
