Carter family gripple with loss of Bobbie Jean

Bobbie Jean Carter, sister of Nick and Aaron Carter, died at the age of 41 on Sunday.

Bobbie Jean's mom was in "shock" after learning of her daughter's tragic death.

Her mom told ET that she needs “ time to process the terrible reality” and will release a statement when she will be “able to think clearly.”

“I am in shock from learning of the sudden death of my daughter, Bobbie Jean; and I will need time to process the terrible reality of this happening for the third time. When I am able to think clearly, I'll release a fuller statement; but until then I would request to be left to grieve in private,” she told the media outlet.

Jane continued, “However deeply a parent feels the loss of a child, the suffering of a young child at the loss of a parent must be much greater. So, I would ask the sympathetic to say a prayer for my precious eight year old granddaughter Bella, who previously lost her father and is now also left without her mother.”

Bobbi Jean's shocking death comes just over a year after her brother Aaron was found dead at his California home.

As reported by the Los Angeles Medical Examiner, Aaron was “submerged in a bathtub after inhalation of compressed gas and intake of alprazolam.”

Earlier this year, Bobbie’s sibling Nick spoke to the news outlet and shared how his family is coping with Aaron's death.

Nick explained, “It's definitely been tough for me and my family. It is still something that we are still processing, to this day. I don't think we will ever really get over it. It's been a lot for us, and we are finding ways to try and take a really tragic situation in our family and do something with it."
