'Bachelorette' star Tyler Cameron's mother Andrea died from a brain aneurysm
"The Bachelorette" star Tyler Cameron is mourning the unexpected loss his mother.
The 27-year-old model – who finished as a runner-up on Hannah Brown's season of the ABC dating competition last year – took to Instagram Monday to confirm that his mother Andrea Hermann Cameron had died.
"Today heaven gained an angel," Cameron wrote. "We will love and miss our mother dearly. She will live on through us and through those that she has had an impact on."
He accompanied his message with a picture of himself and his siblings, Austin and Ryan, holding their mother's hand as she laid in a hospital bed connected to an IV.
Cameron later told the Palm Beach Post, which is part of the USA TODAY Network, that his mother died from a brain aneurysm. She was 55.

People and Us Weekly reported Monday that Andrea, a Florida realtor, died after being taken to the hospital on Feb. 27.
"While we grieve, we ask for two things: First, tell those you love that you love them; and second, please let us take this time to celebrate her life in private," Cameron added in his Instagram post. "Thank you for all of your love and support."
Cameron was set to appear on "Good Morning America" last week in honor of National Workout Buddy Day, but ultimately canceled his appearance due to a "family emergency," he shared on Twitter.
"Please pray for my mom and my family," Cameron added.

In October, Cameron shared an ode to his mother on Instagram ahead of seeing her: "Dear Mama, I appreciate you. I love you. I need you. See you soon."
And the feeling was clearly mutual. On her Instagram page, Andrea frequently boasted about the love she had for her three sons. "Love my young men and the character, discipline and grace they put out into the world. They have been my world… and will continue to be my world," she wrote in January.
Just last week, Andrea shared an Instagram message that reads, "It costs $0.00 to tell someone how much they mean to you and to put a smile on their face." Cameron playfully replied: "It cost 33 dollars to come on the train and see me 😇"

Cameron finished in second place on Season 15 of "The Bachelorette," starring beauty queen Brown. After the season concluded, Cameron was linked to supermodel Gigi Hadid and became known for his Instagram presence.
Brown left a heart emoji under Cameron's post.
She was not the only Bachelor Nation and television personality to extend condolences to Cameron's family.
"Sending your family all my love and prayers," wrote Peter Weber, the current "Bachelor."
Bravo host Andy Cohen added, "I am so sorry for your loss."
