On Thursday (June 1), it was confirmed that Jacky Oh, actual name Jacklyn Smith, died on Wednesday (May 31) in Miami. Since learning of her untimely demise, the Instagram account for the series “Wild ‘N Out,” of which she had been a longtime member, has paid a moving tribute to the 33-year-old, who has three daughters with actor-comedian DC Young Fly. “Jacky Oh was a loving friend and beloved colleague of the ‘Wild N’ Out’ cast throughout five seasons,” the note said.
Cardi B was among the many celebrities who expressed their sympathy, calling the incident “so heartbreaking.” “My heart hurt for them beautiful babies,” the Bronx native wrote in another social media post. In an official letter to fans and supporters, Jacky Oh’s family stated that they are “still processing this very tragic and unexpected loss.” They also requested privacy during their time of bereavement.
TMZ broke the news of Jacky Oh’s death, claiming that a now-deleted post from a cosmetic surgery company claimed she was in South Florida for a “mommy makeover.” According to the publication, DC Young Fly was in Atlanta filming “Wild ‘N Out” episodes when he learned the news.

Jacky Oh has broadened her portfolio as an entrepreneur since leaving the aforementioned show, with her main business being the J Nova Collection lip gloss line. She also went into real estate, becoming a licensed agent in Georgia.
In May, the former model discussed becoming a mother. “I do a lot of things, but my favorite is being a mommy.” “God chose me,” she explained. “I swear I never take it for granted.” “I’m so d**n lucky, man!”
