MANILA, Philippines — Television presenter Kuya Kim Atienza and his wife Felicia confirmed that their daughter Emmanuelle has passed away. She was 19 years old.
Los Angeles authorities confirmed that Emmanuelle, more popularly known by her nickname Emman, died last October 22.
Felicia announced Emman’s unexpected passing on social media the morning of October 24 with a carousel of photos in a joint post.
“She brought so much joy, laughter, and love into our lives and into the lives of everyone who knew her,” said Felicia. “Emman had a way of making people feel seen and heard, and she wasn’t afraid to share her own journey with mental health. Her authenticity helped so many feel less alone.”
Felicia asked that people honor Emman’s memory by “carrying forward the qualities she lived by” which were “compassion, courage, and a little extra kindness in your everyday life.”
Emman is survived by Kim, Felicia, and siblings Jose and Eliana, who all signed up on the carousel announcement.
The family did not disclose a cause of death for the teenage content creator who addressed mental health topics and socio-political issues on her platforms.
Among those who offered condoling messages for the family were Piolo Pascual, Solenn Heussaff, Darren Espanto, Chie Filomeno, Barbie Imperial, Ryan Bang, Niana Guerrero, Bea Borres, Khalil Ramos, Marjorie Barretto, and Rica Peralejo.
