Bobbie Jean Carter, the sister to Aaron Carter and Nick Carter, has died, multiple sources confirm to PEOPLE. She was 41.

Bobbie Jean died on Saturday morning in Florida, TMZ reported, citing her mother, Jane Carter. "I am in shock from learning of the sudden death of my daughter, Bobbie Jean, and I will need time to process the terrible reality of this happening for the third time," Jane told the outlet, referring to Bobbie Jean's death, as well as those of Aaron, who died at 34 in November 2022, and Leslie Carter, who died at 25 in January 2012.

"When I am able to think clearly, I’ll release a fuller statement, but until then, I would request to be left to grieve in private," she continued.

Added Jane: "[H]owever deeply a parent feels the loss of a child, the suffering of a young child at the loss of a parent must be much greater. So, I would ask the sympathetic to say a prayer for my precious eight-year-old granddaughter Bella, who previously lost her father and is now also left without her mother."
