WWE referee Daphanie LaShaunn has suffered a family tragedy after four of her extended family members were lost in a house fire. LaShaunn, aka Aja Smith, posted to Instagram to reveal that a house fire took the lives of her grandmother, grandfather, uncle, and cousin on Wednesday night.
LaShaunn wrote:
“My heart aches. Last night I lost my grandma, grandpa, uncle, and cousin in a house fire. We were at the scene til the very end.. My soul is hollow right now. Please pray for my family as we navigate this unbelievable nightmare. Planning 4 funerals and rebuilding is gonna be tough. My cousin, A family of 7 with 5 kids, are now displaced with nothing to their name. Anything helps even a repost. I’ve posted the gofundme link in my bio and I’ll also add it to my story. Thank you all so much.”
The GoFundMe is available here and has, as of this writing, raised $27,650 of its $50,000 goal.
LaShaunn and her husband, WWE alum Leon Ruff, were involved in a car accident late last month.
On behalf of 411, our deepest condolences to LaShaunn and her family.
