“Bling Empire: New York” star Lynn Ban died Monday. She was 52 years old.
Ban’s son Sebastian announced the news via Instagram on Wednesday, less than a month after the reality star underwent emergency brain surgery for injuries she suffered during a skiing accident.
“I know she wanted to share her journey after her accident and brain surgery, so I thought she would appreciate one last post sharing the news with the people who supported her,” Sebastian captioned a series of family photos taken over the years.
The teen told Ban’s followers that his mother “was and always will be (his) best friend.”
“She always had a smile on her face, even when times were tough during her recovery process. She was a fighter until the end and she is the strongest woman I know,” he shared.
Sebastian said Ban was “the funniest, coolest mom” who took care of their loved ones “throughout her life.”
“Even though she is gone now, I will do everything I can to make sure she is never forgotten and that her life is celebrated the way it deserves to be,” he added.
Sebastian concluded his sentimental tribute by telling his mother he will miss her “forever”, adding: “I love you more than life itself.”
NYPD sources told the Post later Wednesday that Ban’s husband, Jett Kain, found the jewelry designer dead in their Tribeca home Monday around 1:30 p.m.
The news comes after Ban announced via Instagram on Dec. 30 that she was involved in a skiing accident on Christmas Eve while vacationing in Aspen, Colorado, with her family.
“At the top of the mountain, I grabbed a spike and face planted it. Fortunately, I always wear a helmet. It didn’t seem like a big deal to me at the time and I was able to ski down,” she wrote.
The Netflix personality shared that she decided to err on the side of caution and was “checked out by ski patrol for a concussion,” but they cleared her of any issues.
However, after suffering headaches shortly after, she took a taxi to a local hospital, where she was diagnosed with a brain hemorrhage and immediately airlifted to a trauma center.
“The last thing I remember is being intubated and waking up after an emergency craniotomy with Jett by my side,” she wrote of Kain, 56.
Ban told her fans at the time that she had a “long healing road ahead” but was “grateful and blessed to see the new year.”
She also posted photos from her hospital bed, including one showing a huge incision sewn into her shaved head.
