As OK! previously reported, Nick's sister Angel posted a heartfelt tribute to Bobbie Jean on Christmas Eve.

"To my older sister Bobbie. You had a great sense of humor, and a lively spirit. Growing up, I was your baby, and you were my best friend," she revealed. "Life wasn’t fair to you, that I know. Sometimes, it feels like you didn’t have a shot, no matter what. Experiencing innocence instead of being burdened by trauma, pain, and suffering is incredibly important for children, particularly at such a young age. I know why Leslie, Aaron, and now you ended up in the circumstances that you did."

Their mother, Jane, also confessed she was "in shock" after learning about her daughter's unexpected passing.

"However deeply a parent feels the loss of a child, the suffering of a young child at the loss of a parent must be much greater," she said at the time. "So, I would ask the sympathetic to say a prayer for my precious 8-year-old granddaughter, Bella, who previously lost her father and is now also left without her mother."
