  • TikToker Ali Spice was killed in a hit and run car crash on Sunday.
  • Three people died in the crash, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.

Ali Spice, a 21-year-old TikToker with 919,000 followers, died on Sunday in a hit-and-run car crash in Florida.

Her family named her among three victims in a crash in DeLand, north of Orlando, in which police are still hunting for the driver.

Spice, whose real name was Alexandra Dulin, was a popular creator, building up a following for her dances and fashion and beauty content. Since the news of her death, friends and family have been paying tribute to her on social media.

The crash was on Sunday at 2:20 a.m. according to local news reports, citing the Florida Highway Patrol.

A gray pick-up truck was driving in the wrong direction and hit the car Spice was in.

"The driver of the wrong-way vehicle exited and fled on foot into a wooded area," said Florida Highway Patrol Lt. Channing Taylor.

He said the sheriff's department tried to track down the driver but wasn't able to.

Neyleen Ashley, a model and fellow content creator, posted that she was "heartbroken" and shared a TikTok of clips of them together.

"Rest in peace my angel," she wrote. "I'll miss you forever."

Spice's father James Dulin told Fox 35 Orlando that Spice had just visited the family for Thanksgiving.

"It's still not real. We still have moments of disbelief," he said. "I guess with my daughter you always take a lot of pictures. But man, we took a lot of pics over Thanksgiving, and who knew that those were the last pictures that we would take?"

He added that he wanted to see "justice" for Spice and the other two passengers that were killed in the crash. The driver of the car Spice was in survived with serious injuries, Fox News reported.

On December 13, a photo of Spice was posted on her Instagram account, stating there had been some misinformation spread about her death, and that her family was working with the Florida police to "solve this crime."

"We have full confidence the person responsible will be caught," the post reads. "If you have information you believe is valuable, then give it to the Florida Police. Let's only post what we know to be true."

The statement continued, saying that the driver's identity was still unknown.

"Our family thanks you all for your Love and support of Ali," it reads. "We cant believe she is gone."
