Jewelry Designer and ‘Bling Empire’ Star Lynn Ban Tragically Dies at 51 in Skiing Accident

Jewellery designer Lynn Ban, who starred in the Netflix show Bling Empire: New York, died at age 51. Ban was known for her bold creations and Pierre de Coubertin-like spirit. In his last Instagram post, Sebastian described her as “the funniest and coolest mama.” 

On a vacation to Aspen, skiing in Colorado, the designer became a victim of an accident and sustained severe brain injuries just days before Christmas. Sadly, she died on Monday following an emergency surgery. Heartbreaking news was confirmed by her son, Sebastion, on Instagram.

Her Son’s Heartwarming Tribute

Sebastian posted a heartbreaking tribute to his mother on Instagram. He claimed she was his best friend and the most muscular woman he had ever met. In his post, he stated, “Even when facing challenges, a smile stayed glued to her face. I will ensure she is remembered even though she is no longer with us. He promised to carry on her legacy and concluded his note with a sweet climax: “I love you more than life itself, Mum.”

How Did the Unfortunate Accident Happen?

The accident occurred on the 30th of December while she was on a vacation with the rest of her family for skiing. She was hit and sustained severe damage to the brain. Although she was wearing a helmet, she suspected a concussion and needed medical assistance. According to an Instagram post, she had to undergo an emergency craniotomy on Christmas Eve. In the same post, she shared a picture revealing her partially shaved head with a faint scar from the surgery.
