The *Big Brother* family and fans around the world are mourning the loss of beloved houseguest **Mickey Lee**, who passed away on **December 25, 2025**, at the age of 35. Mickey's family announced the heartbreaking news on her official Instagram account on December 26.
"With profound sadness, the family of Mickey Lee announces her transition on Christmas in the early evening," the statement read. "Mickey captured the hearts of audiences nationwide through her appearance on *Big Brother*, where her authenticity, strength, and spirit left a lasting impression on fans and fellow cast members alike. She will be remembered for the joy she brought into the lives of so many and for the genuine connections she formed both on and off screen. Mickey's light, legacy and impact will never be forgotten."
Here are some cherished memories of Mickey from her time in the *Big Brother* house:
Originally from Jacksonville, Florida, and based in Atlanta, Georgia, Mickey was an event curator and creative professional whose vibrant personality and bold gameplay made her an instant fan favorite during *Big Brother* Season 27 (the "Summer of Mystery" season that aired from July to September 2025). She competed for 59 days before her eviction, forming deep bonds and leaving a mark with her resilience and genuine spirit.
Mickey's passing followed a sudden health crisis earlier in December, when she suffered a series of cardiac arrests linked to complications from the flu. She was hospitalized in the ICU in critical but stable condition, prompting an outpouring of support and a GoFundMe campaign to assist with medical expenses.
*Big Brother* host **Julie Chen Moonves** shared a touching tribute, noting that Mickey had revealed in a recent interview her history of overcoming health challenges, including being born with a hole in her heart and surviving a near-fatal ATV accident. "Last night God brought her home. Rest In Peace dear Mickey. I will see you again on the other side in eternity," Chen wrote.
Fellow Season 27 houseguests and *Big Brother* alumni, including Rachel Reilly, Cliffton "Will" Williams, and many others, have flooded social media with heartfelt condolences, remembering Mickey as a joyful, kind, and inspiring presence who brought light wherever she went.
Mickey's family has requested privacy during this time of bereavement and will share details about memorial services and arrangements in the coming days. They extend their deepest gratitude to everyone who has offered prayers, love, and support.
In lieu of flowers, the family encourages continued support for the GoFundMe established to help cover medical and related costs.
Mickey Lee touched countless lives in her too-short time here. Her legacy of strength, authenticity, and unwavering light will endure in the hearts of fans and the *Big Brother* community forever.
**Rest in peace, Mickey Lee.** 🕊️
