YouTube star-turned-VH1 host Stevie Ryan died on Saturday. The 33-year-old committed suicide by hanging at her Los Angeles residence, according to the coroner’s office.
Ryan initially gained notoriety for her Little Loca YouTube series — which she launched all the way back in 2006 — as well as her celebrity impersonations, People reports. She then transitioned to television as the star of Stevie TV, a VH1 sketch comedy series, and was subsequently the co-host of Brody Jenner’s E! talkshow Sex With Brody. Most recently, Ryan hosted a podcast about depression titled Mentally Ch(ill), where she revealed last Thursday that her grandfather had passed way.
“I’m just worried that this is going to send me into a deeper depression,” Ryan said on the podcast, per People, which added that she also discussed suicide during the episode with co-host Kristin Carney.
Ryan had three YouTube channels, including one for her Little Loca character, as well as two personal channels. Altogether, she counted roughly 160,000 subscribers and 63 million lifetime views.
