18-year-old Baton Rouge Tik Tok star Dazharia Shaffer, who was known as "Dee" on the video-sharing platform, has died by suicide.
Dazharia's father, Raheem Alla, who also goes by Rodney Andry, addressed her death in a Tik Tok video. He stated, "I just want to thank everyone for their love and support of my daughter. Unfortunately, she is no longer with us and has gone to a better place."
Dazharia's father also paid tribute to her in a post, where he wrote, "My daughter Dazharia has left us early and has been call[ed] up to fly with the angels. She was my little best friend and I wasn't prepared in no way, to bury my child.
"She was so happy, and would be so excited to see me when I come home from being on the road," he continued. "I only wish she would have spoken to me about her stress and the thoughts of suicide. We could work thru [sic] this. I only want to hold you again my little jelly bean. Now I come home and you're no longer gonna be there waiting for me. I have to let you fly with the angels."
On Monday (February 8), Dazharia shared a series of Tik Tok videos with her 1.4 million followers, which she captioned, "Last post🥺."
