“Congratulations to my cutest, loveliest pet. Thank you to @iheartawards and to you, the incredible fans for loving Gracie as fiercely as we do,” the 22-year-old Fifth Harmony solo star wrote in a statement on Thursday (March 14), at the same time as the 2019 iHeartRadio Music Awards, where Gracie was nominated for Cutest Musician’s Pet.

“I say this with the heaviest heart you can imagine. Our angel was taken from us incredibly too soon a few days ago due to a freak accident that caused breathing complications we couldn’t fix. I can’t begin to express the heartache that we feel, nor the joy that this little being of light brought to my life for the short but beautifully abundant time we had together in this world.”
