On Monday, my mum passed away. She wanted to share her journey after her accident and brain surgery, so I thought she would appreciate one last post sharing the news to people who supported her. The post, accompanied by photos of Ban, read.

"My mum was my best friend, the best mother to me, and someone who cared for all. Although many of you followed her, you never got the chance to know her or meet her in person. I would like to take this opportunity to share who she really was."

In the weeks before her demise, the celebrity revealed harrowing details about her emergency brain surgery following a ski accident in Aspen that resulted in a brain bleed.

In a split second, life can change. On Christmas Eve, while skiing in Aspen with my family, I had a ski accident that would alter my life. I caught a tip and face planted, but fortunately, I always wear a helmet. Although it didn't seem severe at the time, I wanted to get checked by ski patrol to ensure I didn't have a concussion.

The paramedic recommended that Ban go to the hospital for a CAT scan after experiencing a minor headache.

Thirty minutes later, I was informed I had a brain bleed and needed to be airlifted to the trauma hospital. The last thing I recall was being intubated and waking up after an emergency craniotomy," Ban shared, with her partner Jett Kain by her side on "Bling Empire: New York.

She posted pictures of her shaved head with stitches and her intubated in a hospital bed, with medical tubes inserted in the back of her head and in her mouth.

"The road to recovery is long, but I am a survivor and grateful to ski patrol, the amazing team of doctors and nurses, my family and friends. GOD IS GOOD."

She concluded her post, expressing gratitude and blessings for the new year.

Wang replied to her son Sebastian in the heartfelt post.
