Aaron Carter's twin sister has revealed the heartbreaking reason why she thinks three of her four siblings died young.

Angel Carter Conrad is the sister of the late musician Aaron Carter, who tragically passed away in 2022 at the age of 34 due to accidental drowning after inhaling difluoroethane and taking alprazolam, which is also called Xanax.

Angel and Aaron's sister, Leslie Carter, died of an overdose in 2012 at the age of 25, and their other sister, Bobbie Jean Carter, passed away at the age of 41 from “intoxication by the combined effects of fentanyl and methamphetamine,” per PEOPLE.

During an interview with Gayle King on CBS Mornings, Angel candidly shared why she thinks so three of her siblings tragically died at a young age.

"There's certainly a generational dysfunction issue here that comes along with it, but as far as growing up, there was a time where we were a really close family. There was a lot of love. But there was a lot of chaos going on at the same time," she said, cited by Yahoo.

“Just fighting. My parents were just fighting all the time. Just dysfunction in the home. No boundaries. No stability. No one to talk to. It just felt like, if I had an issue going on, I really couldn't have my parents to lean on to," she continued, adding that fame deepened the dysfunction within her family.

Angel is also the sister of Nick Carter, the Backstreet Boys singer. The 44-year-old soared to fame with the group while Aaron's found success with his early career.

"I think it changed everything, honestly," she said about her brothers' fame. "Nick has been in Backstreet Boys since I was four or five years old."

"So, a really long time. We were a family that had no money. We were from upstate New York. My parents were poor. And they had never seen anything like this before," she continued.

"So, once the money started coming in, it just changed the dynamic because money became the moving force," she added.

Angel has previously shared that her family exhausted all efforts to help her brother Aaron before his tragic passing.

Now, she hopes to break the "generational dysfunction" cycle with her daughter, Harper Noelle Conrad, who is five years old.

She expressed her desire to provide her child with a childhood filled with innocence, something she believes her brother never truly experienced.

"Aaron did not have his innocence," she said. "He was working like an adult from a very young age. And he just wanted to be home."
