Police reported that Cheslie Kryst jumped from a Manhattan 60-story apartment building and was pronounced dead at the scene Sunday morning.
Kryst, who lived on the 9th floor of the building, was alone when she jumped and was last seen on a 29th-floor terrace, according to New York Post.
Her family said, In devastation and great sorrow, we share the passing of our beloved Cheslie. Her great light was one that inspired others around the world with her beauty and strength.
Cheslie embodied love and served others, whether through her work as an attorney fighting for social justice, as Miss USA and as a host on EXTRA. But most importantly, as a daughter, sister, friend, mentor and colleague we know her impact will live on.
