Kauana Bilhar, 27, died after falling from the 27th floor of a tower block in Dubai - police are said to not be ruling out the possibility of homicide

An influencer has died after falling from the 27th floor of a tower block.

Kauana Bilhar, 27, sadly lost her life while in Dubai after falling from a building, sparking a police investigation. She had amassed a huge following online for her modelling work and travel content.

Her passing was confirmed by her mother, Darla Bilhar, on July 7. Police are reportedly not ruling out the possibilities of an accident, suicide or homicide.

“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 mother has travelled to Dubai to follow the investigations and to get her daughter’s body back to Brazil.

In one of Kauana's latest posts she was celebrating her engagement with partner Barbara Abrantes. She posted the celebration on June 25, which is believed to be her last on social media.

The exact date of the Brazilian model's death is unclear.

Heartbroken mum Darla has called for respect after her daughter's social media was flooded with malicious 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.”
