Mickey Lee, a former contestant on Big Brother on Season 27, has died following multiple cardiac arrests.
Her family shared the news on Instagram Friday, writing: ‘With profound sadness, the family of Mickey Lee announces her transition on Christmas in the early evening,’ the statement posted Friday read.
‘Mickey captured the hearts of audiences nationwide through her appearance on ‘Big Brother,’ where her authenticity, strength and spirit left a lasting impression on fans and fellow cast members alike,’ the post continued.
‘She will be remembered for the joy she brought into the lives of so many and for the genuine connections she formed on and offscreen,’ her loved ones added.

‘Big Brother doesn’t just give you castmates — it gives you family. I’m forever grateful I got to share that house and that experience with Mickey. We walked into the Big Brother house as strangers and walked out bonded for life.
‘I wish I could still thank her for the memories, the laughter, and the moments only we will ever understand. I’ll carry a bit of Mickey with me always. Rest in peace, my friend.’
