Billie posted additional photos of Kira, another one of her fans as well.
The second half of Billie's Instagram story showed photos of her and Kira, a purple-haired young woman.
"F–k, I don't understand why this is happening, I hate this, I don't know how I'm only finding out now, you're not here anymore, I love you so much Kira, please fly high, rest in peace," read Billie's caption.
Some claim that Skylar died during a car accident, while others hypothesize that Kira passed away after having battled with cancer.
The families have yet to make an official statement. The singer of "When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?" didn't clarify why she chose to commemorate the tragic death of the two young women via an Instagram story.
