Alysha Burney, who was known for her viral TikTok parody videos, has sadly passed away.

Charles Burney, Alysha‘s brother, said that she died of an asthma attack in her sleep on March 2, the day before her 25th birthday. He says he was with her at the time of her passing while they were vacationing in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.

“She was not selfish with her knowledge and was a very open book about her journey. She will always be dearly loved, and her legacy will live on forever. [She was] very goal-oriented, creative, and passionate about giving back,” Charles told Fox4News on Monday (March 10).

Charles also wants to shut down rumors regarding her cause of death.

“She does not do drugs. She was a self-loving and happy individual who cherished her life and was looking forward to the upcoming year’s plans. There’s a spread of misinformation online, stating different things based on speculation. These sources lack credibility and should not be believed,” he added.

Charles took to Instagram to confirm the news on Sunday (March 9), asking for fans to “allow our family time to grieve during this time.”

Alysha amassed over 5 million followers across her TikTok, Youtube, and Instagram platforms, and owned her own production company. A Kansas City native, she graduated from University of Central Missouri with a Bachelor’s of Science in Digital Media Production.
