Patridge did not reveal the cause of Sadie's death, but her sister Loza told her Instagram followers that her daughter's "story will save countless lives" without going into further detail.
Loza — who also appeared on The Hills and The Hills: New Beginnings — announced the tragic death of her daughter earlier on Tuesday, writing, "Sadie Raine Loza has left this Earth for the heavens."
Admitting that "Writing this was the hardest thing I ever have had to do," Loza continued: "Sadie liked to remind me that the first law of thermodynamics aka (Law of Conservation of Energy) works in all spheres of life….. ‘Energy cannot be created or destroyed, it can only be changed from one form to another.'"
"Transformation is a better word than death," the grieving mom wrote. "Rest In Peace you brilliant starseed. You’re with your creator. We will miss you dearly. I love you."
