Beauty queen-turned lawyer Cheslie Kryst, who won the Miss USA 2019 pageant, has died at age 30 after falling from a building, police told E! News.
Cheslie Kryst, who won the Miss USA pageant in 2019, has passed away. She was 30 years old.
The beauty queen, lawyer, fashion blogger and Extra TV correspondent fell from a “higher elevation” of a 60-story condominium in New York City just after 7 a.m. on Sunday, Jan. 30, and was pronounced dead at the scene, an NYPD spokesperson told E! News. They added that the death of Kryst, who lived on the ninth floor, appears to be a suicide, adding that a medical examiner has yet to determine the official cause.
“In devastation and great sorrow, we share the passing of our beloved Cheslie,” her family said in a statement to Extra. “Her great light was one that inspired others around the world with her beauty and strength. She cared, she loved, she laughed and she shined.”
The statement continued, “Cheslie embodied love and served others, whether through her work as an attorney fighting for social justice, as Miss USA and as a host on Extra. But most importantly, as a daughter, sister, friend, mentor and colleague — we know her impact will live on. As we reflect on our loss, the family asks for privacy at this time.”
Kryst was active on social media as recently as hours before her passing. Earlier Sunday, Kryst posted a glam photo of herself looking to the side on her Instagram page, writing, “May this day bring you rest and peace.”
On Saturday, Jan. 29, Kryst, a former Miss North Carolina USA, posted on her Instagram Story a congratulatory message to Miss North Carolina USA Morgan Romano and Miss North Carolina Teen USA Gabby Ortega, telling them, “Best of luck at Miss USA and Miss Teen USA!” Also last week, Kryst shared a YouTube vlog about her haircare routine.

Kryst was born in Jackson, Michigan in 1991 and grew up in South Carolina. Kryst attended the University of South Carolina and in 2017, she graduated Wake Forest University School of Law. She worked as a lawyer at North Carolina firm Poyner Spruill LLP as a civil litigator. She also founded the women’s business apparel blog White Collar Glam.
In 2019, she won the title of Miss North Carolina USA and after being crowned Miss USA 2019, she took a sabbatical from work. In 2020, her firm appointed her its first diversity advisor.
Also in 2019, Kryst began working as a New York correspondent for Extra. “Our hearts are broken,” producers for the show said in a statement posted by its website. “Cheslie was not just a vital part of our show, she was a beloved part of our Extra family and touched the entire staff. Our deepest condolences to all her family and friends.”
#Nick Cannon Hosts Baby Shower For Pregnant Brie Tiesi
Nick Cannon may be adding to his growing brood of kids, as the talk show host was seen hosting a sex reveal party with pregnant model Brie Tiesi.
Fans are speculating that Nick Cannon is seemingly becoming a dad for the eighth time. The 40-year-old Wild ‘N Out star and model Bre Tiesi hosted what appeared to be a sex reveal party in Malibu, Calif. on Jan. 30.
According to photos obtained by TMZ, the party was decorated with pink and blue balloons. Bre, 30, who divorced ex-NFL quarterback Johnny Manziel this past November, was seen proudly showing off a growing baby bump as she wore a tight, white strapless dress.
The mom-to-be and The Masked Singer host were snapped hugging and holding hands with each other while surrounded by family and friends. In one photo, Nick, who also wore an all-white outfit, cradles Bre’s belly while flashing a big smile.
In another pic, guests shot off party poppers filled with blue confetti, revealing the baby is a boy.
Nick made headlines last year for welcoming four children with three different women in the span of a few months.

In addition to 10-year-old twins Monroe and Moroccan Cannon he shares with his ex-wife Mariah Carey, Nick has a son, Golden “Sagon” Cannon, 4, and 13-month-old daughter, Powerful Queen Cannon, with ex Brittany Bell. Last June, he welcomed twin boys, Zion Mixolydian Cannon and Zillion Heir Cannon, with Abby De La Rosa.
The following month, the Drumline star welcomed son Zen, his seventh child, with model Alyssa Scott. On an episode of The Nick Cannon Show in December, Nick revealed that the infant had passed away after a battle with brain cancer that was first detected when they took him for a health checkup.
“We thought it would be a routine process,” he told the audience at the time. “We went in just to check his sinuses, and they actually said his sinuses were pretty cool.”
“But by the time we found out that he had another condition. And I think it was called, if I’m not mistaken, fluid that was building up in his head, and that was the cause,” Nick said, referring to the condition hydrocephalus. “His head was starting to get big. When we found out it was more, they called it a malignant tumor in his head.”
Months after welcoming Zen and before the child’s death, the “Gigolo” singer said he was planning to hold off on expanding his family, at least for the time being.
“I told you, man, I’m celibate right now,” Nick told DJ EFN and N.O.R.E. in an October interview on Revolt’s Drink Champs. “I’m going to see if I could make it to 2022.”
He added, “I’m trying to chill out though. I’m chillin’, I’m kind of stepping away, getting focused, going within, getting my celibacy on. I have enough children, enough frolicking, I’m good right now.”
The following month, Nick reiterated his intended celibacy on Dr. Oz, explaining he wanted to focus on his daytime talk show. Nick revealed that one of his therapists talked to him about public perception of the star having multiple children and asked him about how he felt about “taking a little sabbatical.”
“I was kind of trying to make my point like, I’m not driven by sex, so I could stop right now if I wanted to,” he explained. “And throughout that challenge, I was like, all right, I’m going to see if I can make it to 2022 so I could focus on my show.”
He added, “So it’s been quite entertaining on the show for people to see if I could make it to the goal. Other people have diets. I guess, I have [this].”
