The “Bling Empire” community is mourning the loss of Anna Shay who starred on the hit reality series.
Following Monday’s heartbreaking news that the TV personality had died unexpectedly due to a stroke, her co-stars are commemorating Shay’s life and the time spent together.
In a statement from Kim Lee, the actress said Shay’s death comes as “a huge shock.
“I have so much love for Anna. I know that we had issues on the show but in real life, I had such a great connection with her outside of the show,” she continued. “We saw eye to eye, and she gave me so many words of wisdom I will never forget. There’s no one like Anna Shay; she’s an incredible and unique person who was beloved by so many people. My thoughts are with her family at this difficult time.”
