Ruby also described her sister as \u201cthe most incredible person to ever walk this earth\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cHow cruel it is to love someone so deeply and have nowhere for that love to go. To have a lifetime of memories behind you, but no more tomorrows together,\u201d she wrote on Instagram.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t think there are words in any language capable of holding the weight of this heartbreak.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t know how to make sense of a world that keeps turning when mine feels as though it has stopped.\u201d<\/p>\n
Australian-French model and influencer Inka Williams, who is dating Channing Tatum, paid tribute to her friend who was a \u201ctrue angel\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cA true light in this world, I always looked up to you growing up. Your free spirit, kindness. A smile and soul like no other,\u201d she wrote on Instagram.<\/p>\n
\u201cWill forever cherish these moments with you. We will all be missing a true angel.\u201d<\/p>\n
Perth influencer Emily Gambin, known as Em Davies on social media, also shared a heartfelt tribute to the daughter of well-known Australian surfer Tony Ray after working with the model on a campaign for Gambin\u2019s fashion label Venem.<\/p>\n
The collaboration came about after Gambin had spent years looking up to the model and her lifestyle.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m so beyond sad to hear of her passing, especially knowing she has a little baby of her own. My heart breaks for her family and everyone who loved her,\u201d she wrote.<\/p>\n
Ray\u2019s official cause of death is still unclear but in 2024, she opened up about her battle with Guillain-Barr\u00e9 syndrome, a rare neurological disorder that left her partially paralysed following a serious car crash.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The father of Sahara Ray\u2019s baby daughter has been revealed just days after the beloved Australian model tragically…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":936476,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[64,63,447,134,995],"class_list":["post-936475","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment","tag-influencers"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/936475","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=936475"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/936475\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/936476"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=936475"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=936475"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=936475"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
