Jaclyn Hill is mourning the loss of her former husband Jon Hill.

The 32-year-old influencer and makeup mogul shared the news of Jon's death on Instagram and Twitter on Thursday via a statement written by his family.

She then wrote her own statement and posted it to Instagram on Friday, alongside photos taken with Jon during their relationship. In her post's caption, Jaclyn said she "can't believe this day has actually come."

"I am so out of my mind right now, I don't how I'm even going to type this. But I'm going to try," Jaclyn wrote. "Jon, you were the most kind & compassionate person I've ever known."

"You looked people in the eyes & you truly listened & cared about what they had to say," her post said. "You had so much talent you didn't even know what to do with it. You turned your pain into art & touched so many people with your honesty in your music."

Jaclyn went on to say that her former husband was "one of the funniest" people she's met, and that she will "forever miss" how he "made everybody laugh uncontrollably."

"I know we ended our marriage but we never stopped loving & caring for each other," Jaclyn wrote. "All I ever wanted was for you to find your happiness & be free from your struggles. My heart is broken knowing that you are gone but my spirit knows that you are finally free."

She then added: "And I know that you're up there playing the drums right now making everyone laugh. I will carry our memories & inside jokes with me for the rest of my life. Rest peacefully. Love, Twix."

Jaclyn and Jon married in August 2009, and the couple frequently made YouTube videos together.

They announced they were divorcing in May 2018, though Jaclyn continued using Jon's last name professionally and occasionally voiced support for her former husband as he faced drug addiction.

Hill is now engaged to the YouTuber Jordan Farnum, with whom she's been in a relationship for more than four years.

Farnum paid his respects to Jon via Instagram on Friday, sharing his fiancée's post alongside a message of his own.

"With the absolute utmost respect, my thoughts and prayers go out to the entire Hill family," Farnum wrote. "I am so incredibly sorry for your loss and my heart truly breaks for all of you. Rest peacefully, Jon."
