Anna Shay of the hit Netflix series “Bling Empire” has passed away from a stroke on the age of 62.

Shay, who described herself as a philanthropist and socialite, starred in the primary two seasons of “Bling Empire” based in Los Angeles. The all-Asian-cast reality series explored the lives of the rich and well-connected in Los Angeles. Shay was half-Japanese and half-Russian.

“It saddens our hearts to announce that Anna Shay, a loving mother, grandmother, charismatic star, and our brightest ray of sunshine, has passed away on the early age of 62 from a stroke. Anna taught us many life lessons on how to not take life too seriously and to benefit from the finer things. Her impact on our lives will probably be endlessly missed but never forgotten,” her family wrote in an announcement to Variety on Monday.

Shay had many memorable moments throughout the series and was well-known for her fashion. In Season One in every of “Bling Empire,” we learned that Shay had a penchant for Dior when she arranged for a personal appointment at her house where Dior staff brought the collections on to her to peruse.

Forged member Kevin Kreider, to whom Shay gifted a pair of Dior sneakers to within the show, took to Instagram to caption a video of them saying “You never know when your last goodbye will probably be. So unexpected and wished once I saw you last for lunch I’d have taken a moment to smell the roses and had one last adventure with you.”

Instagram posts got here from other solid mates, including Kane Lim, Kelly Mi Li Guy Tang and Cherie Chan.

Shay’s fortune got here from selling her father’s company, Pacific Architects and Engineers, after his death. The firm amassed its wealth through arms and defense technology trade.
