YouTube star Stevie Ryan dies aged 33

YouTueb star and online actress, Stevie Ryan, has died at the age of 33. The corner’s court in LA has ruled that the cause of death was suicide. She died on Saturday after she hung herself at her home in California. The actress became famous after posting videos of herself online doing impressions of stars like Justin Beiber and Lady Gaga.

It is known that she had been suffering from depression and her final Tweet was in memory of her grandfather who had recently passed away. She posted ‘The man of my dreams will now only be in my dreams.’ Her former boyfriend Drake Bell posted an online tribute saying that he will love her forever. ‘No no no!!!! I can NOT BELIEVE THIS IS HAPPENING!!!! Please wake me from this nightmare @StevieRyan I loved you and will forever miss you!’

Ryan had been open about the abuse she had received online in the past, stating in a previous interview that sometimes all you get is hateful responses. She said ‘No matter who you are… You can be the most talented person in the world and you put anything on the Internet and all you’re going to get is hateful responses. I didn’t know that at the time. I don’t think anyone knew that yet. I was like, ‘Oh hell no they didn’t! These b***hes do not know what they just asked for! So then I created Little Loca thinking, ‘I’m going to hand YouTube its ass right now.’ I created Little Loca and thought I’d just do it and freak people out.’
