Lynn’s son, Sebastian, announced her death on Wednesday, four weeks after she underwent emergency brain surgery for injuries from her accident on Christmas Eve.
She died on Monday, with her co-stars from Bling Empire now reacting to the sad news.
A Bling Empire co-star of Lynn’s, Dorothy Wang, has also paid tribute.
Taking to Instagram to share a touching post, Dorothy wrote: “Lynn, I can’t believe this is real, and you are no longer with us.
“In our last conversation we spoke about how precious life is and how grateful you are for a second chance.
“Life really did change in a blink of an eye, and we are devastated.”
She added how she wished she could have one more FaceTime session, or one more meal together.
CO-STARS SHARE TOUCHING TRIBUTES
Dorothy added: “I just wish we had more time together. I hope you feel how deeply loved, adored, and respected you are by everyone you’ve touched.”
Nam Laks, who also starred alongside Lynn in Bling Empire: New York, remembered her as the “ultimate cool, authentic fashionista queen”.
In a statement shared with People Magazine, she said: “Her absence will be deeply felt,” concluding: “May you find eternal peace, Lynn.”
Another cast member, Tina Leung, then posted a video on her Instagram stories showing rain against a window.
Tagging Lynn, she captioned the post: “Paris is crying with me. With us.”
When Lynn’s son announced the news of his mother’s passing on Wednesday, he wrote: “I know she wanted to share her journey after her accident and brain surgery, so I thought she would appreciate one last post sharing the news to people who supported her.”
He added: “She was a fighter until the end and is the strongest woman I know.
“She was the funniest and coolest mum I could ever ask for.”
He went on: “Although she may be gone now, I will do everything I can to make sure she is never forgotten and for her life to be celebrated as it deserves to be.”
LYNN’S SKIING ACCIDENT
Lynn, 51, a jewelry designer who starred on the reality show Bling Empire: New York, suffered a skiing accident in December before undergoing emergency brain surgery.
On December 30, the reality star posted a picture showing her shaved head with stitches in it after the operation.
“Christmas Eve on a beautiful sunny day in Aspen on vacation with my family, I had a ski accident that would change my life,” she penned in the Instagram post revealing her shocking injury.
“At the top of the mountain I caught a tip and face planted,” she explained, adding how she wore a helmet as she always did.
She noted how it “didn’t seem that bad at the time” but was “erring on the side of caution” and wanted to get checked out by ski patrol for a concussion.
EMERGENCY CRANIOTOMY
“They assessed me and I was cleared. I had a bit of a headache but thought after lunch it would be fine and I could ski again,” she added, but said how the paramedic suggested she should go to the hospital for a cat scan.
“This saved my life,” she said.
Lynn said how within 30 minutes they told her that she had a brain bleed and needed to be airlifted to the trauma hospital.
“Last thing I remember was being intubated and waking up after an emergency craniotomy,” she revealed, before saying she had a “long road” of recovery, declaring how she was a “survivor”.
