Influencer Kauana Bilhar, 27, dies in Dubai high-rise fall days after engagement

Kauana Bilhar, 27, was a Brazilian model and influencer who amassed a huge following online for her travel content and glamorous lifestyle before her death in Dubai

An influencer has tragically died after plunging from the 27th floor of a tower block. The stunning Kauana Bilhar had built up a massive online following through her modelling shots and travel posts.

The 27-year-old tragically died while in Dubai after tumbling from a building, prompting a police probe. Her death was announced by her mum, Darla Bilhar, on 7 July, according to NeedToKnow.

Officers are said to be considering all possibilities including an accident, suicide, homicide or femicide. “There are no words capable of expressing the magnitude of the longing you left behind,” said Darla.

“Today you are no longer by my side as I dreamed, but you will live forever within me. I love you infinitely, my girl. Until the day we can meet again.”

The influencer’s mum has jetted to Dubai to monitor the investigation and bring her daughter’s remains back to Brazil.

In one of Kauana’s final posts she was marking her engagement to partner Barbara Abrantes.

She shared the celebration on 25 June, thought to be her final social media update.

The precise date of the Brazilian model’s death remains unknown.

Devastated mum Darla has called for respect for her daughter after her social media was swamped with vicious comments.

She added: “My daughter deserves respect.

“She can no longer respond to the accusations, the malicious comments, the stories that are being created about her.

“It is with my soul in pieces that I come to speak out. My daughter deserves respect.”
