The family of the late TV personality Jacky Oh deleted their GoFundMe to raise $1 million to save her home after her longtime partner, D.C. Young Fly, said it was “fake.”

On Thursday, Page Six obtained a screenshot of the crowdfunding page in question; however, moments later it was deleted and the page now says, “Fundraiser not found.”

In an exclusive statement to Page Six, the comedian’s publicist firm, BStarPR, said they took “swift action to ensure the fundraiser was removed” and are “highly pleased with this result.”

“GoFundMe’s team followed their process and communicated to us ‘confirming this fundraiser has been removed from the platform and all donors have been refunded. Cases of misuse are very rare, and we take swift action against those who exploit the generosity of our community,'” the statement read.

“I hope people remember Jacky for her brilliance and values. Please continue to keep the family in your prayers. We look forward to providing her viewers with upcoming announcements regarding her continued legacy soon!”

Jacky Oh’s younger sister, who goes by @msbrookiej on Instagram, posted a link to the GoFundMe on her Instagram Stories, asking the public to help save the mom of three’s home from foreclosure after her untimely death last May.

“As a family, we are humbly requesting your assistance to help us pay off the home that Jacklyn worked hard to provide for her children, Nova, Nala and Prince Nehemiah,” the now-deleted page read.

“We appreciate any amount you can contribute, and we assure you that every penny raised will be used to save Jacklyn’s home.”

The Smith family also said that any “remaining funds” would be put into a trust for Jacky’s three children, whom she shares with D.C. — born John Whitfield.

In the comments of the fundraiser page, @msbrookiej said the family wanted to keep her home so her kids would “have something forever.”

“We lost her business can’t lose her house,” she wrote, seemingly referring to Jacky’s J Nova Collection lip gloss line.

Jacky — born Jacklyn Smith — died in May 2023 at age 33 from complications of cosmetic surgery, according to the Miami-Dade County Medical Examiner’s investigations report exclusively obtained by Page Six at the time.

The manner of death was ruled an accident.

Days before her death, the former “Wild ‘N Out” model had traveled to Miami to receive a “mommy makeover” from famed plastic surgeon Zachary “Dr. Zach” Okhah.

Page Six exclusively revealed that Okhah had previously sued several of his former patients who claimed on public review sites that he had “mutilated” them.

The surgeon also tried to clear his name after Jacky’s death, telling his prospective patients that his “reputation for safety is exemplary.”
