“In devastation and great sorrow, we share the passing of our beloved Cheslie,” Kryst’s family in a statement Sunday to The Hollywood Reporter. “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,” her family added. “But most importantly as a daughter, sister, friend, mentor and colleague — we know her impact will live on.”

The former pageant queen, who also reported news for ExtraTV, posted on ​her Instagram page not long before her death: “May this day bring you rest and peace.”

“Our hearts are broken,” ExtraTV representatives said in a statement. “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.”
