Former Paradiso Girls member Aria Crescendo also paid tribute to her fallen bandmate.
“Lauren my sister my best friend I can’t believe you left us,” Crescendo said in a post to social media.
“We spoke a week before it all happened and I could not imagine that would be the last time I would be able to talk to you.
“Love you and miss you forever.”
A cause of death has not been made public.
