Kailia Posey, who starred on Toddlers & Tiaras as a kid, died on May 2, according to her mother’s Facebook page. She was only 16 years old at the time.

“I don’t have words or any thoughts,” Marcy Posey Gatterman wrote on the social media platform alongside a photo of her daughter Kailia. “A beautiful baby girl is gone. Please give us privacy as we mourn the loss of Kailia. My baby forever.”
The cause of death has yet to be revealed to the public. Reporters attempted to contact local officials in Las Vegas, where the family resides, but received no response.
Kailia featured on the TLC show with her mother, Marcy, who taught her how to contort.” When Kailia was younger, when she was 3, she started doing pageants,” Marcy said in a clip from the show, posted to YouTube. “She’s a pro when she hits that stage, she’ll say she’s nervous but once she hits that stage she’s a pro. She’s gonna beat you, every time.”
“Kailia has a very good talent,” Marcy continued. “I mean, just completely amazing. I don’t know anybody that’s competition for Kailia.”
