Kane Lim: “You had a nonchalance about you that was mesmerizing and captivated audience around the world. I was lucky to get to know the real you and not many knew about our friendship off camera. We had a real friendship and thought the show made things or even portrayed us a little crazy at times you knew who I really was as a person and had my back in the end. We spent most of the pandemic together, slaying it on Rodeo dr, grocery shopping, making Japanese plum wine and doing silly things. Thank you for your company. I will always remember you for your tenacity for life and resilience and whether the camera is on or off you, you slayyyy. Continue to slay in the heavens.”

Cherie Chan: “@annashay93 my whole heart. I’m lost for words. If only the world knew how beautiful you are. ‘Why does god take the best people from us?'”

Guy Tang: “Gone too soon. You’ll be truly missed, @annashay93. The best memories were all behind the scenes of #BlingEmpire when the cameras were off. We had the best times together.”

Mimi Morris: “Our hearts still ache in sadness. Bling Empire family lost such an amazing friend. Anna you will missed dearly, may you rest in heaven.”

Jaime Xie: “You will be so dearly missed. Rest in peace, Anna. Our many memories together will stay forever in my heart.”

Dorothy Wang: “Rest in Peace, Anna. Your generosity, boldness and fervor for life will forever be celebrated.”

As he gets back out there in the romance department, he noted that he’s getting better adjusted to being single. “In the past, I always had an intense crush or fixated on an ex,” Elliot added. “Right now, there’s none of that. Like, ‘Whoa, I’m alone, and it feels really good.'”
