Tributes Pour In For TikTok Star Ali Spice Who Has Died At 21 & Her Family Is Seeking Justice
Tributes are pouring in for a TikToker who reportedly died following a car accident in Florida on Monday and some fans are shocked by the details being shared by her family.
21-year-old Ali Dulin, known as Ali Spice on TikTok and Instagram, was confirmed to have died in a car accident by her close friend Ariane Avandi on Monday.
According to a post on Dulin's Instagram page, her family claims to be working with the Florida police department to "solve this crime." The message also says that they "can't believe she is gone."
"I'm posting this because this young lady made a mistake that social media took a hold of and created [its] own narrative, rumors and lies around this time in her life," they said in a statement via the late influencer's Instagram account on Tuesday morning.
"Having experienced this being done, we can assure you that our Ali would not want anyone to use social media as a vehicle to hurt someone by accusing them of the crime that took her life," they added.
"Our family is working with the Florida police to solve this crime. Please allow them to do their job and don't tear anyone down because of your belief someone did this."
"We have full confidence the person responsible will be caught [...] At this time we don't know who did this or if the driver was impaired at the time (sic)."
The Daily Mail reported that Florida police had not yet released any details of the accident or whether anyone else was injured.
Dulin's friends are also posting tributes online.
The aforementioned Avandi remembered Dulin as "vibrant, beautiful inside & out, genuine" and a "loving soul."
"You are an amazing friend, and incredibly talented and passionate woman. I will never forget the impact you made on my life," she wrote.
"Earth lost a real angel."
Fans of Dulin are also posting their condolences across social media, many commiserating her young age at the time of the tragedy.
