One Direction support act Camryn Magness has died aged 26.
The musician was best known for touring with the famous boy band One Direction as well as Cody Simpson and Fifth Harmony.
The news of the singer's death was announced on social media yesterday (10 November) in an emotional statement.
It read: "Our hearts are heavy as we mourn the loss of our beloved Camryn, a radiant force whose voice, coy, and bright spirit touched so many.
"Whether beneath the waves or on stage, she met life with fearless energy and boundless kindness.
"In the quiet between waves, her memory will surface—bright, bold, unforgotten. Rest in endless blue, our sweet girl. You are deeply loved and forever cherished.
"Please keep her family and friends in prayer as they navigate this difficult time. Camryn will live on in our hearts forever."
Media outlets have reported that Magness died after being struck while riding an electric scooter.
Magness was born in Denver, Colorado in 1999.
Her music career began at just eight years old when she signed to a record label in 2008 after sharing YouTube videos of herself singing.
She would then move to Los Angeles before releasing her first single 'Wait and See', which featured in the 2011 film adaptation of the bestselling children’s book Judy Moody and the Not Bummer Summer.
In that same year, she was announced as a support act for Cody Simpson and Greyson Chance.
A year later, she supported One Direction on their first headline tour Up All Night Tour in seven shows across the USA.
The band invited Magness back in 2013 for their Take Me Home Tour, during which she featured in 63 shows.
She would go on to support Fifth Harmony.
Magness' official obituary said that she was "beloved" as not just a talented musician, but a "daughter, sister, fiancée, granddaughter, and friend" who died "far too young, and long before her light was ever meant to leave this world".
It said that she was a "vibrant, fearless, and deeply loved young woman whose compassion, humour, and bright spirit touched every person blessed to know her".
It added: "A gifted performer, Camryn’s voice and music were extensions of her soul. Whether she was on a stage, at a family gathering, or sharing a song with someone who needed it, Camryn’s music was a reflection of her heart, her courage, and her endless creativity."
