The 32-year-old model, who goes by Haylee Baylee online, shared a clip of the post that sparked the rumors on Thursday night.

In the video, a voiceover declared, “Haylee Baylee was found dead” alongside a picture of the influencer and Google Earth images of a neighborhood.

The video then quickly cuts to the stunned woman looking in disbelief at what she just saw.

“I mean RIP I guess?” she joked in the candid clip as she captioned her post, “Wait wha-.”

Just hours later, Kalil shared a hilarious in memoriam video titled “forever in our hearts” with pictures of her wrapped in a blanket casket.

In the post, she joked that her life spanned from August 1992 to “May 25, 2025, I guess.”

For the cause of death, she wrote, “maybe foul play idk yet.”

She playfully added at the end of the faux announcement, “A funeral service will be taking place later this week whenever I’m available since I believe I’m still kicking, so bring gifts.”

In the caption, the trolling influencer wrote, “This was news to me.”

Fans were in stitches at the hilarious post, as one wrote, “RIP stay chronically online up there queen.”

Another person said, “It’s like she’s still here” as a different follower commented, “RIP Haley you were a great source of inspiration.”

“We will miss you so much,” teased one fan.
