Disney influencer Dominique Brown has died at the age of 34, reportedly after suffering an allergic reaction at a holiday food event.
Dominique Brown, who was known for being a Disney content creator, and went by the username HellooDomo online, attended a BoxLunch Christmas party on Thursday. Brown is reported to have died after having a severe allergic reaction to food she consumed at the event. Attendees allegedly claimed that Brown ate food she was told did not have an ingredient that she was allergic to.
BoxLunch, who hosted the holiday food event, issued a statement, writing that it's "devastated" by Dominque's death, while also confirming that she "suffered a medical emergency."
In a post shared to social media, one user said Brown was her mother's best friend for over ten years and had an allergic reaction to peanuts. "She asked if there was peanuts in the food and everyone told her no. When she instantly felt bad she asked someone to take her to the hospital, everyone said no and to take pictures first. So sad."
Meanwhile, according to PEOPLE, one of its reporters who was in attendance witnessed Brown receiving CPR, and said they learned 911 was immediately called.
BoxLunch confirmed Brown's passing in a statement.
"We are devastated by the passing of Dominique Brown, a beloved member of the BoxLunch Collective, who suffered a medical emergency at an event hosted by BoxLunch on Thursday in Los Angeles," a representative for the company told PEOPLE. "Our hearts go out to her family and friends, and we will do everything we can to support them and the members of the BoxLunch Collective and our team during this painful time."
