A grandmother who found fame on TikTok for posting funny videos with her granddaughter has died aged 91.
Norma died on 5 June, her family announced on social media on Monday. Her endearing and comedic videos with 32-year-old Jess went viral, with the duo attracting 2.7 million followers on TikTok.
In one viral clip, which was viewed by more than 28 million people, Norma says "we're related" in a series of funny voices - mimicking a cow and a vampire - with both collapsing into fits of giggles. Another, viewed more than 15 million times, involves Jess playing a prank on her grandmother.
In the video, Jess says she has the opportunity to win £10,000 - and all she has to do is say on video why she should win it. Jess proceeds to tell viewers a made-up tale about their family life, with Norma doubling over in laughter over the stories she came up with.
Norma's family said they had lost "our rock" as they told followers about her death. "We are all truly devastated and our lives will never be the same," the family said.
"We want you all to know that Nan fell to sleep peacefully, surrounded by all her family, she was full of love and had the most beautiful care." The family said the community Norma and Jess created online made the nonagenarian's "last years so incredibly special". "Her cup was full and in her own words she 'lived such a wonderful life'," they added.
Norma was beloved among celebrities and fans, nearly 100,000 of whom took shared their condolences on TikTok..
