Mel Thompson, a YouTube star and makeup artist, has died at the age of 35. Details on what her husband has shared about her tragic passing.

Makeup artist and YouTube personality Mel Thompson has passed away at the age of 35. Her husband, Eric Thompson, shared the news of the beauty influencer's death in an Instagram statement on her page.

"Mel sadly passed away yesterday," Eric — who is nicknamed "Puffin" — wrote on Sept. 27. "It's really hard to just choose 10 photos. We lost a beautiful person. I just wanted to show the smiles she brought. I've had to answer so many texts of people just checking in on her without even knowing of her passing. It's great to see how loved she was. And she loved all you right back."

"I'll continue to love her and miss her forever. She was such a pillar for our family. The kids would talk to her non stop and she was constantly talking with them and trying to help them with their stuff. And no matter how bad she felt, she would still rub my back when I came and jumped on the bed next to her while she was working tirelessly to put out content," he continued.

"Everybody knows how talented she was as an artist and with her helpful knowledge, but those closest to her know how truly wonderful she was. She would have done anything to help anyone without a second thought," he concluded. "I wish I had her back."

Being a mom is both rewarding and extremely frustrating at times... but ALWAYS more rewarding," she wrote. "To my babies, (you'll always be babies to me) I love you with all my heart. Mom, thank you for teaching me how to be a good mother..."
