"Sadly, Niece took her own life after a long battle with mental health issues," her loving family shared in June, when the heartbreaking news first sent shockwaves.

The oldest photo was of Waidhofer and her then-fiancé announcing their engagement in June 2015, however, reports claim she was single at the time of her death.

She left another 2017 video up in which she danced with her dog Puff in addition to a glowing selfie posted in March 2022.

Although her comments are turned off, several fans paid tribute to Waidhofer online with a social media user describing the model as one of their "favorite people to follow."

"Niece was more than her struggles," her loved ones added. "She was beautiful and kind, sensitive and funny, creative and talented, generous and compassionate, thoughtful and challenging."

They concluded, "While it is so very painful to say goodbye, we take comfort knowing she is reunited with her father, her three grandparents, her Uncle Rusty, and her beloved Puff; and that she is now free to be herself and, finally, at peace."

To honor Waidhofer's memory, they vowed to establish a non-profit organization for mental health awareness called "Peace from Niece."
