Club Rat creator Eva Evans passes away

The creator of Club Rat and a well-known TikTok star, Eva Evans passed away at the age of 29. On Sunday, Eva Evans' sister Lila Joy took to her Instagram to announce her death by posting a photo with a heartfelt caption.

“Yesterday my family received news that our sweet, fabulous, creative, caring, hilarious Eva, my beautiful sister, has died,” wrote Lila. “After 24 hours, I still find myself in a constant cycle of denial and acceptance, so I know how unbelievable and hard to process this news will be." She added, “I wish I had Eva here now to refer to because she would have better words and know how to say what I don’t. I am keeping this brief, so we can plan for the next few days, but you’ll be hearing a lot more from me on how much Eva means to me and just how different the world will be without her.”

Eva co-wrote and directed the five-episode series Club Rat, which debuted in 2023 and streamed on Amazon Prime Video. She played Eva, a self-absorbed influencer who attempts to reenter the dating scene in New York City after a video of her breakup went viral. She had over 300K followers on TikTok and over 28,000 followers on Instagram. Eva's cause of death is not yet known.

“Celebration of Eva” is being planned by her family on Tuesday, April 23, in lower Manhattan.
