Cheslie Kryst, the 2019 Miss USA and a correspondent on Extra, committed suicide on Sunday in New York City. She was 30 years old at the time.

In a statement to the Washington Post, her family confirmed the news. She allegedly leaped from an apartment building, according to police.

“In devastation and great sorrow, we share the passing of our beloved Cheslie,” the statement reads. “Her great light was one that inspired others around the world with her beauty and strength. She cared, she loved, she laughed and she shined. Cheslie embodied love and served others, whether through her work as an attorney fighting for social justice, as Miss USA and as a host on EXTRA. But most importantly, as a daughter, sister, friend, mentor and colleague — we know her impact will live on.”

Kryst was born in Jackson, Michigan, but came to South Carolina after graduating from the University of South Carolina's Darla Moore School of Business and then the Wake Forest University School of Law in North Carolina. She was Miss Carolina in the past and was crowned Miss USA in 2019.

Later, she was hired as a correspondent for the magazine Extra. Following her passing, her teammates issued a statement.

“Our hearts are broken. Cheslie was not just a vital part of our show, she was a beloved part of our “Extra” family and touched the entire staff. Our deepest condolences to all her family and friends,” the Twitter post reads.
