REALITY star Jasmine Burkitt has tragically died at age 28, confirmed by her fiancé.

Jasmine, who was often referred to as Jazz, appeared in the four-part docuseries called Small Teen, Bigger World back in 2011.

Who was Jasmine Burkitt?

Jasmine Emily Burkitt was born in Manchester in 1993.

The 28-year-old moved with her family to North Wales when she was seven years old to a place called Conwy.

Her mother decided to put her into home education after she was bullied out of school at age 13.

However, this did not stop Jazz from achieving educationally and she went on to study animal management.

Jazz was born with a rare form of dwarfism and was only 3 ft 11.

In 2013 she published her autobiography called Growing Pains: An Inspirational True Story of Growing Up Small in a Big World.

And after the cameras stopped rolling in 2011, Jazz met her partner Lewis Burke.
