The social media star's sister, Lindsay, took to Instagram yesterday (15 April) to announce the devastating news.
She shared an old photo of the beloved TikToker holding a dog alongside a touching tribute.
The caption began: "My sister Kyle Marisa passed away last week.
"As a family we are still processing and deciding how to properly celebrate and honour her life."
She carried on, revealing that the family is still waiting to find out exactly what happened, adding: "We don’t know [what] happened yet.
"I know she touched so many people with her humour, intelligence, beauty, gossip activism, athleticism and more - she had so many gifts.
"If anyone wants to connect about Kyle, I'm here to talk and share memories."

"I am so sorry to those learning about this loss right now," she finished up.

Her LinkedIn post read: "This is not a platform for personal life shares but so many of my connections on this platform go back years and I have a devastating loss to share.
"My daughter Kyle has passed away. She touched some of your lives personally and some of your lives via her immense life on another platform."
Jacquie continued: "Kyle loved and lived fiercely. Nothing makes sense now and we’ll understand more in the next few days.
