Brooke also addressed her daughter’s passing within her Instagram story, as she shared a number of photos that showed Kayla living it up like an everyday 25-year-old.
She went on to upload a couple of messages that suggested she was turning to her faith to help her get through this difficult loss.

We should note that, while Brooke didn’t disclose Kayla’s cause of death, The Shade Room reports that the 25-year-old passed away from a car crash in Memphis, Tennessee.
According to the outlet, Kayla was riding in the passenger seat of a Mercedes Benz S550 in the early hours of Sunday morning; unfortunately, the car reportedly crashed into a “commercial tractor-trailer,” aka a semitruck.

Brooke Bailey is most known for her role on Basketball Wives. She initially starred on the second season of Basketball Wives LA back in 2012, and she returned to the series — which had been rebranded as just Basketball Wives by this point — in a fulltime capacity for its most-recent season, which aired earlier this year.
On top of her experience on Basketball Wives, Brooke Bailey also starred on Candy Girls — a reality show that aired on E! for one season back in 2009.
We send our condolences to Brooke Bailey and the rest of Kayla Bailey’s family during this troubling time.
