Ukrainian model and gymnast Emily Moskalenko, who had been living in America for some time, has passed away. She was only 18 years old. Her family has not disclosed the cause of death.

The gymnast's mother, Tetiana, shared the new on Facebook. However, at the time of writing, her account was private. The girl was a finalist of the "Tantsiuiut Vsi" (So You Think You Can Dance?) and "Ukraina Maie Talant" (Ukraine's Got Talent) projects, as well as the winner of the Next Star show in Romania.

"Pain. Please, no questions asked. You are always in my heart. Sleep, my girl," said Tatiana Moskalenko.

The Fakty media outlet managed to gain access to the page, noting that the woman posted a video in which Emily is dressed in a white dress and veil, smiling and waving goodbye to everyone.

At the age of 18, Moskalenko was just beginning her productive career as a professional model, actress, and gymnast (she had been involved in sports since the age of 4). This is how she introduced herself on Instagram. For the last few months of her life, she lived in Ukraine, although her social media posts include videos from both the United States and Canada.

"I continue to shine despite the menagerie around me. This is the most wonderful feeling in the world, and I wish everyone could experience it," she shared her insight in January 2024.

Netizens write comments under the photos on Emily Moskalenko's personal page, expressing condolences to her family:

• "Was extremely talented, had incredible abilities, reached incredible heights at a very young age, was popular everywhere. A bright star who actually achieved everything on her own and had a great potential career future! I will never, ever believe that a young girl with her whole life ahead of her could leave this world so suddenly!"
• "Sleep well, child. Enjoy soft clouds."
• "Rest in peace, beautiful girl. A tragedy."
• "You will be remembered."

Emily Moskalenko began her public career at the age of 5, when she became famous for the fifth and sixth seasons of Ukraine's Got Talent. Later, she participated in the Ukrainian adaptation of the project So You Think You Can Dance? where she reached the finals.
