Anyone who grew up with the Jonas Brothers would have known their longtime childhood friend Maya Kibbel. Her mother announced on social media the news of her death at the age of 30 from a battle with Wilson’s disease.
Growing up alongside the family, Maya was often seen in the backdrop of many Jonas Brothers projects, backstage hangouts, and tours, and was close to other Disney Channel stars like Miley Cyrus. Her mother, Kiyoko Kibbel, posted on Instagram about her daughter's death on March 7, after years of battling the rare disease. She revealed Maya had suddenly collapsed and was taken to the hospital, where she died in the emergency room.
"It is with great sorrow that I have to post this sad news. Maya had been suffering from a rare disease called Wilson’s disease. She fought hard but her body gave out. Early on 3/7, she collapsed and her heart and lungs stopped working. It was too late and she passed away in the ER," she posted.
"She had suffered so much that often she would cry herself to sleep due to her pain. But now she has entered into Heaven where she can be with her daddy with no more pain or tears. Those of you who knew her and can’t believe she is gone, please know she is in the best place ever! I know she is watching over all of you from up above. Thank you to all those who loved and cared for her while she was still here. As her mom of 30 years, I miss her terribly and am heartbroken. My comfort is knowing she is no longer suffering. Love and prayers to you all!"

According to the National Institute of Health, Wilson's disease is a genetic disorder that "prevents the body from removing extra copper." A build-up of copper affects the liver, brain, eyes, and other organs, and without treatment, high copper levels can cause life-threatening organ damage.
