Her fans flooded her comments section with sweet words to calm her. Many remembered their grandparents.

Psychologist and relationship expert Paula Quinsee spoke to Briefly News about how celebrities can mourn and grieve their loved ones in peace without being influenced by the prying eyes of the public.

Quinsee said it is important for one to "prioritise their well-being instead of public opinion." She also encouraged taking a break; whether it is from engaging with fans through personal or technological platforms. Quinsee said this is a more healthier way to process loss.

Some noted her and her mother's striking beauty, which came from the late Lelo.
