A cast member of the Netflix reality series “Bling Empire: New York” has died.

Lynn Ban was 51.

Her son, Sebastian, wrote on her Instagram, saying “My mum passed away on Monday. I know she wanted to share her journey after her accident and brain surgery, so I thought she would appreciate one last post sharing the news to people who supported her.”

Ban had suffered a skiing accident during a family trip to Aspen, Colorado, last month, CNN reported.

She posted about it on Instagram, writing that she had “caught a tip and face planted” on Christmas Eve.

She said she had been wearing a helmet and was able to ski to the bottom of the slope, where she went to ski patrol to get evaluated for a concussion. Ban said she was cleared.

She said she had a headache but thought it would go away after lunch and planned on going to ski after eating.

A paramedic, however, said she should go to a hospital and get a scan, a test she said, “saved my life.”

Ban ended up with a brain bleed which needed to be treated, so she was airlifted to a trauma hospital where she had an emergency craniotomy.

The jewelry designer was from Singapore and created artistic pieces by mixing precious stones in oxidized metals to contrast the two.

Her creations were worn by stars such as Rihanna, Beyoncé, Cardi B, Billie Eilish, Madonna and Lady Gaga, among others, The New York Times reported.

Producer Jeff Jenkins whose company produced “Bling Empire” and “Bling Empire: New York,” said in a statement, “Our entire Bling Empire family, in front of and behind the camera, is shocked and deeply saddened. To experience Lynn was to receive a big slice of joy,” the Times reported.

Rihanna wrote on the Instagram tribute posted by Sebastian, “2025 is rocking me at this point! This is too much!!! Lynn you will always be our fairy godmother! Love you forever and always! Can’t believe I’m writing this in a comment section rn! 😢💔 Thank you for all the joy you brought to us!” People magazine reported.

Ban leaves behind her son and husband, the publication said.
