Google PlayYouTube star and musician Lil Bo Weep, born Winona Lisa Green, died last week at the age of 22.
Her father Matthew Schofield shared an emotional statement on Facebook honoring his daughter.
“This weekend we lost the fight for my daughter’s life against depression, trauma, PTSD and drug addiction that we have been fighting since we got her back from America through emergency repatriation DFAT but broken,” he wrote. “She fought hard against her demons as we all did side by side next to her and picking up the broken pieces over and over again but she could not fight any more and we lost her.”
Green’s final post on Instagram came last week as she mourned the loss of her child due to a miscarriage a year ago. The rising artist looked visibly distraught in the video, and in the caption she wrote about how growing up with an eating disorder affected her fertility.
“I’ve been crying all day, so I’m sorry,” she said in the post. “But around this time last year, I lost my child and I would like to do something in remembrance of her, preferably spread some flowers at a beach and spend the day just mourning.”
Her father’s tribute closed with him saying how proud he was of her and the things she had accomplished, and Schofield also linked some of her covers at the bottom.
“As her dad I am proud of her beyond words as she is my hero , my daughter and my best friend that i love so so much She is no longer hurting now with the universe wanting their angel back,” he said. “A big part of me is lost at the moment but I ask respectfully that my close friends try not to ring me until I get someway through this.”
