As per multiple media reports, Anna suffered from a stroke.Her family released a statement that read, "It saddens our hearts to announce that Anna Shay, a loving mother, grandmother, charismatic star, and our brightest ray of sunshine, has passed away at the early age of 62 from a stroke. Anna taught us many life lessons on how not to take life too seriously and to enjoy the finer things. Her impact on our lives will be forever missed but never forgotten.”
Ms Shay was a Los Angeles socialite and starred in two seasons of the reality show since 2021. She appeared on screen with Kane Lim, Gabriel and Christine Chiu, Kim Lee, Jaime Xie, and other Asian American Los Angeles socialites. The show was frequently labelled as the real-life version of Crazy Rich Asians.
Paying tribute to the star, Producer Jeff Jerkins wrote, "Anna Shay was the real-life “Auntie Mame,” sweeping all of us up into her spontaneous and preposterous adventures, while gently offering us her common sense wisdom during our most challenging times. She didn't care much for her “bling” but deeply loved her son and her parents. I adored her. The show Bling Empire would not have existed without her."
"She gave everything and took nothing. I will miss her every day for the rest of my life. May God welcome you and bless you and bring peace to all those who love you. Thank you for bringing much-needed visibility to Asian Americans and Asians around the world by sharing yourself on camera. You did not seek out that opportunity, but you embraced the challenge when asked. I love you forever," he added.
