Sofia Murillo’s Tragic Helicopter Crash | Raleigh News

Tragedy struck when 17-year-old influencer Sofia Murillo, her mother, and grandmother died in a helicopter crash near Rio’s Christ the Redeemer statue—just days after her last TikTok post about fitness. The four-seater chopper, carrying vacationing family members, plunged into dense woods, igniting a fire that hampered rescue efforts. All three victims were on the same flight; others waited for a later tour. The pilot also perished. Authorities are investigating whether mechanical failure or human error caused the crash, while the tour operator insists all permits, licenses, and maintenance were current. Murillo, known for beauty reviews and lifestyle content with over 200K TikTok followers, leaves behind a vibrant online legacy cut tragically short.
