The TLC family has lost one of its stars.

Charity Pierce, who was best known for documenting her weight loss journey on My 600-lb Life, has died, according to her daughter Charly Jo. She was 50.

Charly shared the sad news in a Facebook post on Jan. 27, noting that her mom was “finally at peace,” though she did not provide a cause of death.

“I wasn’t going to post about this,” she wrote in the post alongside a close-up photo of her holding her mom’s hand, per TMZ. “But.. the calling and the texting is making my head feel like it’s on fire.”

Clarifying that “almost all immediate family knows,” Charly went on share, “My mom passed away today. She’s up with her momma and brother and sister and she’s finally at peace.”

She continued, “Fly high momma. I hope you know how much I love you and how grateful I was to be able to be by your side while you took your last breath.”
