Following Kyle Marisa Roth’s death on April 15, the TikTok community is reeling from another devastating loss. Rising social media star and New York influencer Eva Evans, who created the Prime Video comedy series Club Rat, has passed on. Evans’ sister, Lila, announced the news of her unfortunate demise on April 21 via an Instagram post.
Urging people to share the post so that it reaches everyone it needed to in time, Lila wrote on social media: “Yesterday my family received news that our sweet, fabulous, creative, caring, hilarious Eva, my beautiful sister, has died.”
She shared a gleeful picture of Eva and conveyed how she felt stuck in a “constant cycle of denial and acceptance.” Keeping the internet eulogy brief, she added: “I wish I had Eva here now to refer to because she would have better words and know how to say what I don’t.”
Lila concluded the note, mentioning that as her family plans the next step forward, she would return online later to express how much her sister meant to her and “just how different the world will be without her.”
