With over five million followers across TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube, Alysha’s passing on March 2—just one day before her 25th birthday—has left her family and fans devastated.
Her brother, Charles Burney, emphasized that Alysha did not use drugs and was a self-loving, happy individual who was excited about the future. In an interview with FOX4, he addressed misinformation about her death, urging people not to believe unverified claims circulating online.
“Alysha was open about her journey and always willing to share her knowledge,” Charles said. “She was creative, goal-oriented, and passionate about giving back. She will always be dearly loved, and her legacy will live on forever.”
