The grieving family released a statement: “It saddens our hearts to announce that Anna Shay, a loving mother, grandmother, charismatic star, and our brightest ray of sunshine, has passed away at the early age of 62 from a stroke.
“Anna taught us many life lessons on how not to take life too seriously and to enjoy the finer things.
The statement closed: “Her impact on our lives will be forever missed but never forgotten.”
Anna, 62, is survived by her son Kenny Kemp.
RISE TO FAME
She first appeared on the Netflix show back in 2021.
The program returned to the small screen for its third season on October 2022.
The cast, including Anna, traveled to Cabo San Lucas, New York City, San Francisco, and Paris.
The show followed “a wildly wealthy group of Asian and Asian American friends (and frenemies) in Los Angeles,” according to Netflix.
While on the show, Anna revealed she had been married and divorced at least four times.
The identities of her ex-husbands have not been disclosed.
