Australian model and swimwear designer Sahara Ray has died, according to a family statement reported by TMZ. “She passed away last night surrounded by family at the hospital. She was so loved,” her relatives said. Ray welcomed her first child, a daughter named Snow, in January 2026. Known for her modeling career and substantial social media following, she also founded Sahara Ray Swim, building a business alongside the public profile that brought her international attention.

In 2024, Ray publicly shared that she had developed Guillain-Barré syndrome, an autoimmune condition affecting the peripheral nerves. She described severe weakness and paralysis in her legs, telling followers she could not walk and was primarily using a wheelchair. No official cause of death has been announced, and her previous diagnosis should not be assumed to explain her passing. Her family’s brief statement leaves a deeply personal remembrance at the center of the news: she was loved.
