The post said: “It is with great sorrow that we announce the transition of Nisa Vanzant the youngest daughter of our Beloved Iyanla Vanzant we are asking for your prayers.
“Please respect the privacy of her and her family at this time. Thank you.”
Nisa’s cause of death remains unknown at this time.
Iyanla shared a picture of a burning white candle as she announced Nisa’s death to her 1.7million Instagram followers.
Nisa’s death comes almost 20 years after Iyanla’s daughter Gemmia died on Christmas Day in 2003 after a battle with colon cancer.
She reflected on the loss during an appearance on Hoda Kotb’s Making Space podcast and said: “Well, it changes who you are as a woman.

“It changed who I was as a woman, first for the worse, and then for the better.”
Iyanla branded Gemmia the “love of her life,” as reported by Today.
She said: “In relationships, people don’t bring you love or give you love. What they do is make you aware of the depth of love that you are.”
Inspirational speaker Iyanla is a TV star and is known for her appearances on the Oprah Winfrey Show.
She hosted the show Iyanla: Fix My Life, which aired on the Oprah Winfrey Network between June 2012 and May 2021.
The reality TV show consisted of 136 episodes, spanning over 10 seasons.
In a 2022 MSNBC interview, Iyanla said she hoped to reach 50.
She said: “I was coming from total poverty, total dysfunction, no support, in survival mode. Fifty was too far ahead.
“It was moment, by moment, by moment, so I never thought to look ahead to 50, surely not 60, and definitely not almost 70.”
