Jett, 26, who has carved out a career as a model, professional ironman and TV star, having appeared on Dancing With The Stars last year, shared a heartfelt message to his Instagram followers, where he hinted at a fraught relationship between himself and Jaimi.

“I may not have been the best brother to you all the time, I know you thought you weren’t being the big sister I needed all the time, but I do know we loved one another unconditionally all the time,” Jett wrote, alongside a beautiful throwback photo of the pair.

But despite their differences, Jett said he will forever love and remember his older sister.

“I will love you forever. Rest In peace my beautiful big sister, the world lost one of its treasures yesterday, but heaven gained one. You will be dearly missed by all whose lives you touched.”

Jaimi’s mother Lisa also broke her silence following the tragic news, posting a heartbreaking tribute to her daughter on Instagram this morning.

“Our hearts are completely broken. Our beautiful daughter Jaimi has lost her battle with a long-term illness and passed away peacefully in hospital yesterday morning with her loving family by her side,” Lisa revealed, alongside a lovely photo of the pair.

“So loved. So beautiful. So kind to everyone.... So painful. I can barely breathe.

“I will miss you every sunrise, I will miss you when the sun is shining and the birds are singing. I will miss you when the clouds are dark and stormy and when the rainbow appears. I will miss you when I close my eyes. I will miss you when I open my eyes. I will miss our long hugs and long chats.

“I just can’t believe you’re not here anymore. I sit and just shake my head. It doesn’t seem real or right. You will forever be with me in my heart Jaimi. I love you so much.”

Lisa’s husband Mark Tabone, whom she married in 2018, also penned his own tribute to his step-daughter.

“As the tears flow and the heart aches, I write this as a tribute to a beautiful young lady, who’s life ended way too soon,” Mark wrote.

“As your mother & father weep your loss, I too feel lost and heavy hearted. Nobody should ever lose their child.

“My job now is to nurture my wife through this unimaginable time.”
