Bride and Prejudice star Dannii Erskine has died in a devastating accident, her heartbroken family have revealed.

The Australian TV scene is mourning the death of another reality star, following the news Bride and Prejudice participant Dannii Erskine reportedly died in a car accident last week.

It’s understood the 28-year-old was on her way home from the shops on Friday when she was allegedly T-boned, her sister told news site So Dramatic.

Ms Erskine’s sister said she had sustained horrific head injuries in the crash as a result of the impact, and later died in hospital.

“She passed away the morning of April 29 at 12:01am. She will be loved [and] very much missed … It was a horrible tragedy,” her heartbroken sister revealed.

“She was 28, full of life and trying her best to move on and meet someone. Now she won’t get that chance.”

Ms Erskine’s family also shared a tribute to her Instagram page, reading “REST IN PEACE Dannii Erskine. 1995-2023”.

It appears her account has since been deleted.

Ms Erskine featured on Channel Seven’s Bride and Prejudice in 2019 with her then-fiance, Denton.

Tributes have been flowing in for the 28-year-old, with her family leaving heartbreaking comments on her Instagram page.

“28/04 took Dannii’s life to a speeding driver – A awful accident [sic],” one family member wrote.

“We appreciate and respect wishes we have received as a family.”

“Rest well Dans,” another Instagram post read.

“Funeral arrangements are in the process if you haven’t received a message privately and are interested in saying goodbye.”
