Australian model Sahara Ray, who once dated Justin Bieber, has died aged 34, her family confirmed.
Australian model and swimwear designer Sahara Ray has died aged 34. Her family confirmed the news, telling TMZ: "She passed away last night surrounded by family at the hospital. She was so loved." No cause of death has yet been publicly revealed.
Ray had welcomed her first child, a daughter named Snow, in January. She made her final Instagram post on 19 July, sharing photos of the ten-month-old with the caption "My whole heart 🤍 baby Snow."
In April 2024, after being struck by a drunk driver the previous month, Ray developed Guillain-Barré syndrome, a rare autoimmune disease where the immune system attacks the nerves. The condition left her temporarily paralyzed from the upper thighs down, requiring use of a wheelchair and walker. She documented her physical therapy and rehabilitation progress on social media.
Ray was briefly romantically linked to singer Justin Bieber in 2016, when they were photographed together in Hawaii. She was the daughter of surfer Tony Ray.
