'My 600-Lb Life' Star Destinee LaShaee Dead; Brother Confirms News

Destinee LaShaee's brother Wayne Compton is grieving following the reality star's passing.

Wayne took to Facebook Tuesday to announce the heartbreaking news that Destinee, born Matthew Ventress, has already passed away. She was 27.

Destinee died just a day after the first death anniversary of their other sibling, Destiny. Wayne shared snaps of Destinee in his post.

"No no no I'm sorry bro, I accept you for who you are, I accept every flaw that comes with you, I'm sorry you felt alone, I'm sorry you felt you had nobody else to turn to, I'm sorry you felt you had no other option Destiny wouldn't have wanted this, Lord why keep taking my siblings away, how much can I take," he wrote.

Wayne was brokenhearted with the loss. In another post on Facebook, he wrote, "How much pain do I have to endure before I give up? [broken heart emoji] haven't I not shown enough strength? Haven't I not put my faith in the most highest?"

Several netizens showered Wayne with supportive messages after seeing his posts. They sent him their prayers and encouraged him to never give up after losing two of his siblings. He assured them that he would not give up on his work and was just "under reconstruction," so he asked them to "bare [sic] with me."

Destinee appeared on "My 600-Lb Life" Season 7, weighing about 700 lbs when the program started. She was the first trans star of the reality show. The TLC star managed to lose over 500 lbs and inspired many fans to do the same.

However, the reality star had always been vocal about her mental health struggles over the years. In one episode, she explained why she turned to food.

"I feel like all I'm constantly doing is trying to escape my depression and pain at this point. Food is the only thing I can turn to, to do that. I can feel it killing me. There is no way I'm going to survive for much longer," she said.

She also appeared to post about depression on her late sister Destiny's account recently. In one post, she wrote, "If I Was Surrounded By All My Tears I'd Be Floating In the Ocean," while tagging his Ventress'account.

The following day, the celebrity shared another status that read, "To Everyone Who Genuinely Love And Support Me I Love You And I'm Grateful To Have Touched Millions Of Lives And Hearts Around The World."

The post continued, "My prayer for someone struggling in any way is That You Keep fighting, Know [You're] Beautiful [You're] Strong and You Can Do and Be Anything you want and Dream. Dreaming Is Free, Love Is Free And Most Importantly God Is Free. Living My life with So much pain for so long I've come to Realize that God Makes no Mistakes I'm grateful for my Journey and all I've been Through I don't Regret A Single Moment. Love you All."
