Jadé Brycki (née Tuncdoruk) is mourning the death of her father.
The Aussie influencer, who is currently expecting her second child, revealed her dad passed away in a raw Instagram post on Tuesday.
‘On Friday I watched my father take his last breath. I was holding his hand while he slept. Fly Me To The Moon was playing. It was heartbreaking but it was also a way he would have loved to go,’ she wrote.
‘When someone you love is dying, you scramble to work out all the things you want to say to them and hear from them for the last time.
‘Unfortunately in his final weeks, he was in and out of cognitive ability so conversation was somewhat limited.
‘In the final moments before he slipped into a deep sleep, I thanked him and said, “you’ve always loved me,” to which he replied, “always will”.’

Jadé, who goes by the name ‘@jadetunchy’ on social media, said her father always ‘taught her to laugh’ and he has shaped the person she is today.
‘I am eternally grateful for the love he showed me my entire life, unconditional and boundless. It’s something I never once doubted about him,’ she continued.
‘Dad, I know wherever you are there’s great music playing loudly and you’re making someone laugh. And probably scaring someone with your big, beady eyes too. I love you very much, “always will”.’
The sad news comes after Jade revealed that she and her husband Lachie Brycki are going to become parents for a second time.
She wrote in an Instagram post in May: ‘Lach, Fletch and I are overjoyed to share that our little family will be growing this December’.
The caption came along with a photo of the social media star and the personal trainer cuddled up with their son, Fletcher, while Jadé showed off her bump.
The week before, Jadé attended Australian Fashion Week in Sydney, where she concealed her growing belly under a layered outfit.
Just a glimpse of her bump could be seen under a sheer crochet top that she wore under a loose trench.

Jadé and Lachie welcomed their first child last year.
Her baby boy, Fletcher Ted, was born on June 13 last year, and the couple have since been adjusting to their life as new parents.
Jadé recently opened up on the ‘difficult’ reality of parenting after welcoming her first child, admitting that it has been the hardest thing she has done in her life.
Speaking on Nova’s Mad About You podcast, Jadé said she wishes somebody had warned her how difficult it was going to be in the first few weeks.
‘I’m sure not everyone feels the way that I do about how hard it’s been in the beginning,’ she admitted.
‘I think most people kind of struggle in the beginning, especially when it’s their first, and it’s so foreign and it’s so intense and it’s you – just can’t imagine it.
‘But now I’m here, and I feel like nobody told me how hard it was going to be. Everyone kind of said, “yeah, it’s an adjustment, and it’s difficult,” but now I’m finding myself saying those things too!’
