Kailia Posey Toddlers and Tiaras

The star of "Toddlers and Tiaras" took her own life at the age of 16, her family said in a statement.

Although she was an accomplished teenager with a bright future ahead of her, unfortunately in one impetuous moment, she made the rash decision to end her life.

The family is devastated, listing everything Kailia had ahead of her and her accomplishments during her 16 years. Her talent as a contortionist has already led to professional touring job offers, and she was recently selected to be a cheerleader at her high school.

Kailia had plans to work in the entertainment industry and pursue her goal of becoming a commercial pilot, according to her family.

The 16-year-old who first found fame on the popular TLC show died in Washington on Monday. Her mom posted that she didn't have words or thoughts. A baby is gone. As we mourn the loss of Kailia, please give us privacy. My baby is mine forever.

The Whatcom Community Foundation is where her family has set up a fund to help students in crisis.
