Bobbie Jean Carter has died at the age of 41.

The sister of the late pop stars Aaron Carter — who died in November 2022 at the age of 34 — and Leslie Carter as well as Backstreet Boys singer Nick Carter, 43, was found dead in Florida on the morning of Saturday, December 23.

Her mother, Jane Carter — whose daughter Leslie died in 2012 at the age of only 25 — is in “shock” at the news and will release a “fuller statement” once she has processed things.

Without giving a cause of death, Jane told TMZ: “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.”

Bobbie, who worked as a stylist on Aaron’s tours, is also survived by her 8-year-old daughter Bella, but the little one is now left without either parent following the death of her father in recent years.

Jane added: “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 8-year-old granddaughter Bella, who previously lost her father and is now also left without her mother.”

It comes after the death of Aaron on November 5, 2022.

Aaron shot to fame in the early 2000s with appearances on the Disney Channel and Nickelodeon and achieved chart success with hits like I Want Candy.

In a medical report obtained by Entertainment Tonight this year, it was determined he was “submerged in a bathtub after inhalation of compressed gas and intake of alprazolam”, which is a general form of Xanax.

Meanwhile, Leslie — who released the single Like Wow! in 2001 and went on to appear in her family’s reality show House of Carters — died in 2012 after taking an accidental overdose.
