Much too early, she was torn from life: just a few weeks after Brittanya Karma became infected with the corona virus, the vlogger died. She was only 29 years old.

“I still fight every day,” Brittanya Karma wrote on Instagram on November 20. Not even two weeks later she is dead. The German-Vietnamese vlogger, whose real name was actually Nguyen Tran Phuong Linh, died at the age of 29 as a result of Covid-19. Her brother has now confirmed this on Instagram.

“I can’t find words. Life is unfair,” wrote Thai Lam about a photo taken with his sister. “Growing up with you was so much fun. You taught me so much in life. Life is precious. See you again one day.”

Brittanya Karma made her corona disease public in mid-November. The woman from Hamburg appeared on Instagram with a respiratory mask. “I hope your 2020 is better than mine,” she commented on the snapshot. Then she explained to her almost 250,000 followers: “I have so much pain. Corona should be taken more seriously. Please take good care of yourself.”

At that point, the 29-year-old still had hope that she would fight the virus. “I know God didn’t make me the most beautiful or smartest woman in the world, but one of the strongest who so far has made everyone in the world laugh.” Brittanya ended her contribution with: “I’ll get through this with God’s help.”

Brittanya Karma was particularly famous in Germany for her clips on YouTube. There, as on Instagram, she had almost 250,000 subscribers, and her videos were viewed over three million times. She called herself a comedian. She was also known in Vietnam after participating in the dome show “The Bachelor”.
