LOS ANGELES: Singer and actor Nick Jonas is mourning the loss of his close childhood friend Maya Kibbel, who passed away at the age of 30 after battling a rare genetic disorder. According to reports, Maya Kibbel had been suffering from Wilson\u2019s disease, a condition that causes excess copper to accumulate in the body, potentially damaging organs such as the liver and brain. Despite undergoing treatment and fighting the illness for years, she collapsed on March 7 and later died when her heart and lungs stopped functioning. Maya\u2019s mother, Kiyoko Kibbel, confirmed the tragic news in an emotional social media post. She wrote that Maya had endured significant pain due to the illness but had fought bravely until the end. \u201cMaya had been suffering from a rare disease called Wilson\u2019s disease. She fought hard but her body gave out.\u201d She added that her daughter had \u201centered Heaven where she can be with her daddy with no more pain or tears.\u201d Following the announcement, Nick Jonas shared a heartfelt tribute on social media, describing Maya as someone who was like a sister to him.\u201cMy sister forever. Here for you always.\u201d Maya had grown up alongside the Jonas family, maintaining a close bond with them throughout the years. Wilson\u2019s disease is an inherited condition in which the body cannot properly eliminate copper, causing it to build up in organs. While it can be managed with early diagnosis and lifelong medication, untreated cases can become life-threatening. After the news of Maya\u2019s passing spread online, fans and followers shared messages of support and sympathy for her family and for Nick Jonas during this difficult time. Her death has drawn attention to the challenges faced by people living with rare genetic disorders.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
