“This year has definitely been one with such loss and tragedy,” his team wrote. “May you be filled with love and comfort from supporting fans and friends through this tough time.
“You are not alone. We know Aaron is in heaven with his sisters and reunited. May they rest in peace.”
Following Bobbie’s death, Jane Carter spoke with TMZ saying, “I am in shock from learning of the sudden death of my daughter, I will need time to process the terrible reality of this happening for the third time.
“However deeply a parent feels the loss of a child, the suffering of a young child at the loss of a parent must be much greater. So, I would ask the sympathetic to say a prayer for my precious eight-year-old granddaughter Bella, who previously lost her father and is now also left without her mother.”
She continued, “When I am able to think clearly, I’ll release a fuller statement, but until then, I would request to be left to grieve in private.”

Her death comes just a year after Aaron passed on November 5, 2022.
The singer was found dead at his home in California after accidentally drowning in his bathtub due to difluoroethane and alprazolam (sold as Xanax).
Following Carter’s death, his older brother Nick took to Instagram to pay tribute to the late star.
“Sometimes we want to blame someone or something for a loss,” he wrote in the caption, alongside photos of the pair as kids.
“But the truth is that addiction and mental illness is the real villain here.”

Aaron’s twin sister Angel also shared her own tribute for Bobbie.
Following her older sister’s passing, Angel looked back on the highs and lows Bobbie Jean experienced. “Life wasn’t fair to you,” she wrote in a Dec. 24 tribute to her older sister. “Sometimes, it feels like you didn’t have a shot, no matter what.”
“Experiencing innocence instead of being burdened by trauma, pain, and suffering is incredibly important for children, particularly at such a young age,” she wrote in remembrance of her sister.

“I know why Leslie, Aaron, and now you ended up in the circumstances that you did. I share that pain we experienced during our childhood and I’m sorry you didn’t have an opportunity for a better life.”
“We all need to break down barriers, reduce stigmas, and cultivate a society where seeking mental health support is met with understanding and encouragement,” she added. “This starts with our children, and creating healthy conversation within the home.
