Flavor of Love star Deelishis is mourning the loss of her niece after she was confirmed as one of three people killed in the Michigan State University mass shooting on Monday.

Deelishis - whose real name is Chandras Davis - had put out an urgent appeal to help find her niece, Arielle, following news of the shooting.

However, it was sadly confirmed hours later that she had lost her life in the tragedy.

On Monday, Deelishis took to Instagram to ask her 3.6million for help in the initial search. She wrote alongside an image of her niece: "My beautiful niece @ariellediamond_ is a student at MICHIGAN STATE UNIVERSITY… she was in her classroom in the same building as the active shooter and we have not heard from her.

"If you know her whereabouts please dm me … in the meantime my family and I ask for your prayers." She concluded the post with emojis of praying hands and a love heart.

Later, Deleeshis pinned a comment in which a relative confirmed Arielle had died. The message read: "My sweet beautiful niece…RIP baby girl."

Shortly after, a number of the reality TV star's friends shared comments on her post to send their condolences.

Among them was Basketball Wives star Brooke Bailey, who wrote: "I am praying for you and your family. I am so sorry that you and your family have to experience the gut wrenching hurt from this tragic loss. RIP baby girl."

The Real Housewives of Atlanta star Sheree Whitfield also wrote: "Praying for you and your family’s strength."

Anthony Dwayne McRae, 43, opened fire at the Michigan State University campus in East Lansing as frightened students hid in classrooms and cars.

The shooting began at an academic building and later moved to the nearby student union, a popular gathering spot for students to eat or study.

Authorities have said he was neither a student nor an employee at the university and had no affiliation with it whatsoever.
