A fundraiser that was set up to save the late Jacky Oh's home has been deleted following criticism from her long-time partner, D.C Young Fly.
The star, whose real name was Jacklyn Smith, passed away in May 2023 following complications from a cosmetic procedure, per Sky News.
Following her passing, the family of the late TV personality has swiftly deleted their GoFundMe campaign aimed at raising $1 million to save her home.
The fundraiser was dubbed "fake" by Young Fly, and he sought to get it removed as quickly as possible.
In a statement to Page Six, BStarPR, the comedian's publicist firm, expressed satisfaction with the removal of the fundraiser. They stated: "We took swift action to ensure the fundraiser was removed and are highly pleased with this result."
According to the statement, GoFundMe's team confirmed the removal, stating: "Cases of misuse are very rare, and we take swift action against those who exploit the generosity of our community.
"I hope people remember Jacky for her brilliance and values. Please continue to keep the family in your prayers. We look forward to providing her viewers with upcoming announcements regarding her continued legacy soon!" the statement continued.
The now-deleted GoFundMe page, initially shared by Jacky Oh's younger sister, sought assistance from the public to save the home of the mother of three from foreclosure following her death.
"As a family, we are humbly requesting your assistance to help us pay off the home that Jacklyn worked hard to provide for her children, Nova, Nala, and Prince Nehemiah," the page read.
The Smith family also pledged that any "remaining funds" would be placed into a trust for Jacky's three children, whom she shares with D.C. - born John Whitfield.
In the comments section of the fundraiser page, Jacky's sister expressed the family's desire to secure the home for the sake of her children's future, stating: "We lost her business can't lose her house."
Days prior to her death, the former Wild 'N Out model had undergone a "mommy makeover" procedure in Miami. This revelation shed light on the surgeon, Zachary "Dr. Zach" Okhah, who had previously faced legal action from disgruntled patients.
Following her passing, the official Wild 'N Out page shared a heartfelt Facebook post, stating: "We are deeply saddened by the passing of Jacklyn Smith, known to the world as Jacky Oh, a talented Wild 'N Out family member whose impact will be forever treasured and missed."
The tribute continued, emphasizing Jacklyn's role not only as a colleague but also as a devoted mother to three beautiful children. The BET Media Group extended condolences to Jacklyn's family, DC Young Fly, fellow cast members, and all those who loved her.
