Kate Hudson announces TikTok star Eliza’s death

Releasing a heartbreaking post on Instagram, Kate has used the platform to share her thoughts with the world.

“My sweet baby girl. I don’t know how we will go on without you. I know we promised you we would we brave, just like you,” she writes. “But we are broken. Even though we know you are no longer suffering or in pain or frustrated with what life had become.

“I woke up this morning [June 20], still half asleep, and reached for your hand. But you were not there. You left last night. In a van that took you away. I wanted to run after you. But I couldn’t. I have to accept this new reality…but I am not ready to let you go. I don’t think I ever will be ready to move on.”

She concludes that “I want to believe you are somewhere with my dad and my sister….and your sister…all loved ones you never met. I want to believe you are all together. Dancing in meadows or swinging on trees or walking alongside a beach somewhere with ocean salt water washing over your toes.”

“I also want to believe your soul transferred into us, your Mamma and your Dadda. That you left your little body and gently latched onto our souls. That we are now intertwined for life. I want to believe you are still alive somewhere.”
