"I just wanted to show the smiles she brought. I’ve had to answer so many texts of people just checking in on her without even knowing of her passing. It’s great to see how loved she was. And she loved all you right back.

"I’ll continue to love her and miss her forever. She was such a pillar for our family. The kids would talk to her non stop and she was constantly talking with them and trying to help them with their stuff.

"And no matter how bad she felt, she would still rub my back when I came and jumped on the bed next to her while she was working tirelessly to put out content.

"Everybody knows how talented she was as an artist and with her helpful knowledge, but those closest to her know how truly wonderful she was. She would have done anything to help anyone without a second thought. I wish I had her back."

The beautiful photographs show Mel, who was aged 35 when she passed away, with friends and family, as well as her four children.

While Mel's cause of death is unknown, it's believed she was battling health conditions. Last August, Mel discussed that she had been struggling, writing on Instagram: "I am having a lot of health issues. One main issue being seizures. I had 2 on my birthday and was in the hospital. Last night, I had another one. I'm ok. I just can't keep pushing myself and I need to rest."

And YouTuber Jaime French commented: "Oh my gosh I am so sorry to hear this and so shocked. She was such a sweet and wonderful, beautiful person. My prayers are with your family."

Our thoughts are with Mel's family and friends at this very sad time.
