The Miss USA Facebook page shared a message on Facebook, saying they're 'saddened' to hear about the death of 'one of the most vibrant, energetic, and full-loving titleholders' they've had.
'A conversation with her could either leave you full of adrenaline or utterly exhausted. She was a spitfire and with Sami you never knew what she'd throw your way - but you ALWAYS knew she would be there for you. She was awesome like that.
'She was one of the most vibrant, crazy, compassionate, loyal balls of energy you could ever come across in life.
'You left us all way too soon, but in true Diva style, you will have us talking about you forever.....you left a positive mark on this world and in my life and I will continue to live life with passion and love because I know that is what you would want. I will see you again my beautiful friend,'Jessica Dereschuk wrote on a GoFundMe page set up to cover funeral expenses.
