A BET Media Group spokesperson confirmed Jacky Oh’s death, who’s whose real name is Jacklyn Smith, in a statement shared on the MTV show’s social media. According to TMZ, which was the first to report the news Thursday, the mother of three died in Miami. Her cause of death has not been released.

“We are deeply saddened by the passing of Jacklyn Smith, known to the world as Jacky Oh, a talented Wild N’ Out family member whose impact will be forever treasured and missed,” the statement on Instagram read. “Jacky Oh was a loving friend and beloved colleague of the Wild N’ Out cast throughout five seasons.
