The world has lost a beauty.
Liz Lin Ruoyu, a Taiwanese beauty influencer with over 144,000 followers on Instagram, has died at age 36, her husband shared in an Aug. 10 post on the social media platform. A cause of death was not shared.
"Liz has always been a girl with a smile, sunshine and love," he began in a translated statement. "She was always curious about new things, especially about small animals, with infinite gentleness and care; she always had a unique and fascinating taste, always able to use her vision and creativity to add beauty and inspiration to the world."
Explaining that Liz "never saw herself as an 'influencer' but as a friend to everyone," her husband continued, "she always tried her best to respond to every message just because she really cared and really appreciated everyone who supported her."
"Although Liz has quietly left, the beauty and love she left behind will always be with us," he added, noting that her verified Instagram account—which has content dating back to 2012—will "not be shut down" so it can be a place for "fans to always remember Liz."
