Why has Yazmin Oukhellou deleted her Instagram?
On Sunday the 31st of October, Yazmin shared an Instagram post paying tribute to her grandmother, Hilda, who sadly passed away that morning.
Yazmin captioned the post:
I cannot believe I’m even writing this nan. You were my best friend, the woman I called to for advice, the one who understood me when others didn’t and the woman I will forever cherish in my heart
She was extremely close to her grandmother and described her as a “queen”.
Following this loss, Yazmin announced to followers that she would be taking a break to be with her family while she processes this news.
Since then, Yazmin has deleted her Instagram account, and will likely return to social media when she’s ready.
