Influencer Rafaela Del Bianchi has reportedly died at age 27 as the result of a fatal car accident in Brazil.
Multiple outlets reported that Bianchi was ejected from a car driving on the Lix da Cunha Highway in São Paulo, Brazil, after the vehicle flipped at around 5 a.m. local time.
Binachi died in the accident. Her friend and the owner of the car were both taken to a hospital after sustaining minor injuries.
The influencer, who amassed more than 29,000 Instagram followers, shared a selfie hours before her death. In the Instagram image, Bianchi pursed her lips while her hair was styled in loose waves. She captioned the picture with a single lightning bolt emoji.
After news broke of Binachi’s death, Brazilian soccer star Kerolin Nicoli and her daughter honored the late influencer in a joint Instagram post.
“Even though we know that one day life will end, we are never prepared to lose someone,” the post read, translated to English. “Today heaven gained a piece of what I loved most on Earth. It hurts to know that I can’t hug you anymore, but I feel you in every silence, in every good memory. Nothing will erase what we live. Our love doesn’t end here — it’s just moved places. 🤍”
Rafaela’s brother, Ryan Del Binachi, also shared an “open letter” to the influencer. “They say time is able to heal everything, but it’s been hard to heal this void in my heart since you left,” the Instagram caption read. “Even with this pain that won’t go away, we try to move forward to honor the amazing, strong, light-filled woman you were!”
He continued, “Life gave me you as a gift, and I am only grateful for every word and every gesture, for all the affection and love. I wanted many more days and years by your side.”
Rafaela’s relative Adriano Del Bianchi also mourned her death in a moving social media post.
“I don’t even have words to describe you. You were everything to us. You were everything to the family. You were the light of our life, our home,” Adriano wrote via Instagram. “You brought joy to everything at family parties. You were special since you were a little baby. You already had a glow. I can’t believe you’re gone, my princess. I never imagined in my life that I would go through this. I loved you so much. I will always love you. I will never forget you in my life, ever!”
The post continued, “Stay with God. Shine up there in heaven, my little baby. I love you always. I will keep the memories. I remember you. It was 27 years by your side, my blood. This isn’t easy for us, but unfortunately, you’re gone. I didn’t have time to say a word to you. I feel such great pain losing you. Knowing that you won’t come back to us. I will never forget carrying you in my chest for the rest of my life. I love you so much for the rest of my life. Always. 🖤🙏🏻😔🥀🕊️👼🏼.”
