“This has shattered us”: BBC reality star Jasmine Burkitt has passed away

<p dir="ltr">British reality star Jasmine Burkitt, known as Jazz to her loved ones and friends, has died aged 28.</p> <p dir="ltr">Burkitt was known for her 2011 documentary, Small Teen, Bigger World, a four-part series on BBC Three where she gave viewers an insight into her life as a teenager with dwarfism.</p> <p dir="ltr">Her fiancé, Lewis Burke, confirmed the news of her passing on social media earlier this week, per <em><a href="https://celebrity.nine.com.au/latest/jasmine-burkitt-dead-at-28-bbc-reality-star/b4cb4bdf-b00b-40ab-a78c-f25a3092dc9b" target="_blank" rel="noopener">9Honey</a></em>.</p> <p dir="ltr">“She is the most incredible human that ever walked this planet, she is the strongest, funniest, most kindest and purely decent person I’ve ever known,” he wrote on their shared Facebook page.</p> <p dir="ltr">“I am truly devastated. She changed my life forever and I’ll never be the same.”</p> <p dir="ltr">Burke, who was in hospital for a heart operation at the time of her passing, said Burkitt had passed away “after a long battle with a serious mental illness”.</p> <p dir="ltr">According to multiple media outlets, Norman Burkitt, Burkitt’s grandfather, said Burke’s mother found her body in a tent where she and Burke had been living since 2021.</p> <p dir="ltr">The couple had been documenting their life living in a tent in Bodelwyddan, Wales, on their Facebook page, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/lewisandjazz/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Join our Journey</a>, after struggling to get council accommodation.</p> <p dir="ltr">“We’re a differently abled couple who happen to live in a tent outdoors, in the UK,” the introduction on their page reads.</p> <p dir="ltr">“Although this wasn’t really our first choice, we are still determined to remain happy and productive throughout!! We are turning our homelessness from something negative to something positive.”</p> <p dir="ltr">Burkitt’s grandfather said the couple’s situation highlighted the “desperate” housing situation in Wales, since the couple couldn’t get public housing together as they were from two different parts of the country.</p> <p dir="ltr">“The coroner has rang us to say there will be a post mortem. They were living in this tent because they could not get a house,” he said.</p> <p dir="ltr">He described his granddaughter as a “fantastic girl” who was “so clever and bright”, emphasising her love of art and her television success.</p> <p dir="ltr">“She broke all sorts of viewing records at the BBC and got two awards,” he said. “This has shattered us, we have had no sleep. Everyone will miss her.”</p> <p dir="ltr">While Burkitt was filming her show, she was a registered carer for her mother, who later died from lung and breathing problems in 2014. Both had an undiagnosed form of dwarfism, which doctors couldn’t find the cause for.</p> <p dir="ltr">Her grandfather revealed she had been diagnosed with bipolar disorder and had a heart valve issue that meant she was taking three different types of medication and had to have hospital check-ups every six months.</p> <p dir="ltr">In January, Burkitt shared with her followers on Instagram that she had been hospitalised due to her physical and mental health at the end of the previous year, adding that she was “so happy to be much more stable” and couldn’t wait to be back with Burke and their dog, Loki.</p> <p><span id="docs-internal-guid-662c7374-7fff-b002-8b29-ade203924b07"></span></p> <p dir="ltr"><em>Image: @joinourjourneyinsta (Instagram)</em></p>

Karl Stefanovic’s daughter rushed to hospital

<p dir="ltr">Karl Stefanovic has issued a grave warning to parents after his daughter was rushed to hospital in a terrible condition. </p> <p dir="ltr">The <em>Today</em> co-host teared up as he spoke about the terrifying ordeal which saw him and wife Jasmine rush two-year-old Harper to hospital.</p> <p dir="ltr">“Little Harpie, she went downhill. She just had a sniffle and a small cough. Then within six hours, we had her at the GP.</p> <p dir="ltr">“We gave her Neurofen, Pandadol but her heartbeat went up to 200 and her temperature was at 40 in almost an instant. So it got a hold of her. </p> <p dir="ltr">“It was only because of a great GP she was able to get on top of it, straight into the ambulance, then to the hospital. She was there overnight.”</p> <p dir="ltr">Karl said the reason he is speaking about the “really scary” incident is to remind people about our doctors and nurses doing it tough. </p> <p dir="ltr">“They're just so good at what they do, they were able to sort things out. But there's so many kids out there at the moment who are going through this.</p> <p dir="ltr">“There were literally thousands of parents in similar situations.</p> <p dir="ltr">“We are lucky it wasn’t more serious, and we were lucky we had good people around her.”</p> <p dir="ltr">Karl confirmed baby Harper is now doing much better.</p> <p dir="ltr">Associate Professor Margie Danchin, a paediatrician at the Royal Children's Hospital, said emergency departments were filled with worried parents and their sick children. </p> <p dir="ltr">"We don't want parents going to the emergency department waiting six to eight hours if they can go to their GP," she said.</p> <p dir="ltr">"If a child has breathing difficulty or any blueness around the lips, or any signs of dehydration - if they're not drinking, if they're listless, pale, those are the things that should encourage a parent to take their child to the emergency department.</p> <p dir="ltr">"But if the child has a fever, cough, runny nose, those sorts of more mild respiratory symptoms, then we would encourage them to access community care first."</p> <p dir="ltr"><em>Images: The Today Show</em></p>

Karl Stefanovic lists beachfront home with “heavy heart”

<p dir="ltr">After spending just five weeks in their beachfront home, Karl and Jasmine Stefanovic have decided to <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-qld-sunshine+beach-138661443" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sell</a> the multimillion-dollar Noosa holiday house.</p> <p dir="ltr">Despite buying the home for $3.5 million in 2019 and undertaking some luxe renovations, the <em>Today </em>show host and his shoe-designer wife struggled to make good use of the home due to COVID-19 and travel restrictions between NSW and Queensland.</p> <p dir="ltr">Real estate agents have told the Stefanovics their home could fetch up to $7.5 million when it heads to auction on March 24, thanks to climbing property prices and their renovations, as reported by the <a href="https://www.couriermail.com.au/entertainment/confidential/karl-and-jasmine-stefanovic-sell-sunshine-beach-holiday-home/news-story/fb9a781cdd9f82a83a041c13375c9a78" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Courier Mail</a>.</p> <p dir="ltr">Karl, who is rumoured to be on a $2 million salary at Channel 9, said they made the decision to sell with a “heavy heart”.</p> <p dir="ltr">“We purchased the property on Seaview Terrace just before the pandemic hit,” he said.</p> <p dir="ltr">“We’ve added a teenager retreat, a bathroom and a wine cellar. It’s a really beautiful slice of Sunshine Beach paradise. The views are incredible and we just love the people and area.</p> <p dir="ltr">“The walks around the headlands are unbelievable.”</p> <p dir="ltr">They weren’t the only public figures to invest in the area either, with Karl revealing that former Prime Minister Kevin Rudd and mining mogul Gina Rineheart both bought in the “same street and neighbourhood” as they moved in.</p> <p dir="ltr">“The reality though is I can’t get away from work in Sydney nearly enough and the logistics of coming in and out of Queensland have been challenging,” he explained.</p> <p dir="ltr">Karl noted that he and Jasmine hope to return to Noosa when they have more time and if they can afford it.</p> <p dir="ltr">“It’s the best beach community anywhere,” he said.</p> <p dir="ltr">The couple both have family in Queensland, but have struggled to see them due to their work commitments in Sydney and travel restrictions.</p> <p dir="ltr">But, they did manage to head up to the Sunshine Coast over Christmas, where Karl later <a href="https://www.oversixty.com.au/entertainment/tv/intense-karl-reveals-entire-family-caught-covid" target="_blank" rel="noopener">revealed their whole family contracted Covid</a>.</p> <p dir="ltr">“I am a little croaky,” he <a href="https://www.news.com.au/entertainment/celebrity-life/karl-and-jasmine-stefanovic-selling-noosa-holiday-house-could-make-4m-profit/news-story/6a0988e0066a1e0580ceabf1d4713947" target="_blank" rel="noopener">shared</a> with his <em>Today </em>show co-hosts upon his return. “The last couple of weeks, going back to January 3 or 4, the whole family tested positive. The whole family went down with COVID-19.</p> <p dir="ltr">“It was a bit awful to tell you the truth at times, but we’re all clear now.</p> <p dir="ltr">“We got through the whole thing, and look, they say it’s mild, but it’s pretty intense at parts.”</p> <p dir="ltr"><em>Images: @karlstefanovic_ (Instagram), realestate.com.au</em></p>

Jasmine Stefanovic's family heartbreak

<p><em>Image: Getty </em></p> <p>Jasmine Stefanovic Nèe Yarbrough’s grandmother, Isabel Hollingworth, has passed away at 95 years of age.</p> <p>Announcing the sad news on her Instagram, the shoe designer posted a collage of photos of herself with her grandmother, alongside a very sweet poem entitled ‘Nana’s Love.’</p> <p>“The days may dance too swiftly as your Quickstep becomes a Waltz, but your voice still sings with angels Sunday mornings, when it matters most,” the poem begins.</p> <p>“Take your afternoon tea and chocolate and come with me down memory lane, hold my hand on Burleigh beach where my childhood days,” the poem continues.</p> <p>“With the softest touch of Nana’s love guiding me as I’ve grown, you shone brighter than any star in a class, all of your own. I learnt the art of being a lady. The value of grace and being kind. You always matched your necklace and dress, these little things come to mind.”</p> <p>“And fill my cup with admiration for those values instilled along the way, because I wouldn’t be the woman I am without Nana’s love, today.”</p> <p>A few weeks ago, Jasmine was granted an exemption to fly to Queensland in order to spend time with her grandmother, who was ill, after completing hotel quarantine with her daughter, Harper.</p> <blockquote style="background: #FFF; border: 0; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: 0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width: 540px; min-width: 326px; padding: 0; width: calc(100% - 2px);" class="instagram-media" data-instgrm-captioned="" data-instgrm-permalink="https://www.instagram.com/p/CUEfF-Slrhr/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading" data-instgrm-version="13"> <div style="padding: 16px;"> <div style="display: flex; flex-direction: row; align-items: center;"> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 40px; margin-right: 14px; width: 40px;"></div> <div style="display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center;"> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 100px;"></div> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 60px;"></div> </div> </div> <div style="padding: 19% 0;"></div> <div style="display: block; height: 50px; margin: 0 auto 12px; width: 50px;"></div> <div style="padding-top: 8px;"> <div style="color: #3897f0; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 550; line-height: 18px;">View this post on Instagram</div> </div> <p style="color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 8px; overflow: hidden; padding: 8px 0 7px; text-align: center; text-overflow: ellipsis; white-space: nowrap;"><a style="color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 17px; text-decoration: none;" rel="noopener" href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CUEfF-Slrhr/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading" target="_blank">A post shared by Jasmine Stefanovic (@jasyarby)</a></p> </div> </blockquote> <p>Jasmine and her grandmother were close, and the 37-year-old frequently documented her time with her grandmother over the years.</p> <p>Earlier this month, when they were reunited, she shared a photo of her grasping her hand, writing “Nana, with you now and forever.”</p> <p>Prior to her most recent trip to Queensland, Jasmine saw her grandmother in Sydney in May.</p> <p>“Nothing more special than having Nana here this weekend,” she wrote alongside a photo of her grandmother, her mother and herself.</p> <p>Jasmine’s husband Karl Stefanovic previously told Today about Jasmine’s trip to see her grandmother.</p> <p>“She’s had to go to Brisbane because of her very dear, dear Nan, who she’s incredibly close with, is really, really, really sick,” he said.</p>

<p><span>Eyes are buzzing on the home recently secured by Karl Stefanovic and his shoe-designer wife, Jasmine.</span><br /><br /><span>The three-bedroom family home set in the close-knit suburb of Castlecrag is where Stefanovic has decided to permanently place his family – and for the long haul, it seems.</span><br /><br /><span>The pair along with their tiny tot have experience with living in the suburb, as they rented a home there.</span><br /><br /><span>They have since purchased a full-brick property in one of the most sought after streets in Castlecrag.</span><br /><br /><span>Based on photos released of the property, it would come as little surprise if the family were planning renovations on the comfy space.</span><br /><br /><span>While anyone who knows the sale price has remained tight-lipped, it’s clear the home would have gone for a high sum.</span><br /><br /><span>With a self-contained studio that has its own bathroom and separate entry – it would come as no shock that the family shelled out for the special feature.</span><br /><br /><span>Castlecrag has become a real hot spot for young families over the years and the home secured by the Stefanovic family was just one of three listed at the time.</span><br /><br /><span>The couple spend much of the year in Queensland, splashing out $3.6 million on a luxury beach house in Noosa.</span><br /><br /><span>Jasmine’s family live in Brisbane and Karl happened to start his journalism career there, so it comes as little surprise that it’s where the couple choose to spend most of their time.</span></p>
