Carson Kressley Pays Tribute To Late Cheslie Kryst After 'Big Brother' Exit

"Big Brother" star Carson Kressley is mourning the loss of the late Cheslie Kryst.

In early February, autopsy reports confirmed that she had taken her own life the previous month. She is reported to have jumped from a window of the Orion Condominium building where she lived in New York City. She was only 30 years old. The former Miss USA had been working as a correspondent for “Extra” and was well-known for her bright and vibrant personality.

Kressley, fresh out of the "Big Brother" house, took to Instagram on Monday to pen a touching tribute to the "bright light" gone much too soon.

On Monday, Kressley expressed his condolences for the late model alongside a snap of the two posing for a photo together.

“Just out the Big Brother house where I had no contact with the outside world for the last 24 days and I am at a loss for words upon hearing the news that my friend and colleague Cheslie Kryst has left this world,” he began.

“I had the pleasure of working with her over the years, most recently at the Miss Universe pageant in Israel this past December,” he continued. “She was a bright light, a joy and a true beauty inside and out.”

“I had no idea she was struggling with depression,” he admitted. “Please check in on your loved ones and reach out to make sure they are ok. You never ever know what what someone may be going through.”

“My heart breaks for her lovely mother who joined us on our travels to Israel,” he added. “Sending love to all of her family and friends. I hope you have found peace dear Cheslie. 💔”

He was far from the only one who took to social media to express condolences for the late Kryst.

Actress Ming-Na Wen starred as mercenary Fennec Shand in the Disney+ live-action series “The Book of Boba Fett,” which takes place after season 2 of “The Mandalorian.” Starring Temuera Morrison as the titular bounty hunter Boba Fett, he and Shand team up to claim the territory on Tatooine that was once ruled over by Jabba the Hutt.

Wen tweeted out her condolences to the late correspondent, who had interviewed them about the show only two weeks prior.

“Devastating. So tragic,” she wrote. “Cheslie Kryst interviewed us just 2 wks ago.”

“She was so beautiful, charming & engaging. I’m shaken to the core,” she continued. “My heart goes out to her loved ones, coworkers & fans. RIP, Cheslie.”

According to a statement put out by her family, “In devastation and great sorrow, we share the passing of our beloved Cheslie, Her great light was one that inspired others around the world with her beauty and strength. She cared, she loved, she laughed and she shined. Cheslie embodied love and served others, whether through her work as an attorney fighting for social justice, as Miss USA and as a host on EXTRA. But most importantly, as a daughter, sister, friend, mentor and colleague – we know her impact will live on.”

Extra also released a statement, saying, “Our hearts are broken. Cheslie was not just a vital part of our show, she was a beloved part of our Extra family and touched the entire staff.  Our deepest condolences to all her family and friends.”

Miss Universe also released a statement, saying, “We are devastated to learn about the loss of Miss USA 2019 Cheslie Kryst. She was one of the brightest, warmest, and most kind people we have ever had the privilege of knowing. Our entire community mourns her loss, and our thoughts and prayers are with her family right now.”
