Did influencer Haley Kalil aka Haleyy Baylee die at 32? The viral TikTok death claims explained
Rumours claiming influencer Haley Kalil, aka Haleyy Baylee, died at 32 are making rounds online. The internet is reacting to the speculation, and Haley responded to the claims with her signature humour.
The internet can be a funny place, but it also houses scary rumours that can spread faster than the truth. Over the past few weeks, TikTok and Instagram have been flooded with claims that influencer and model Haley Kalil, better known as Haleyy Baylee, had passed away. Fans were left concerned and confused until Haley decided to take the matter into her own hands and clear it all up in her trademark humour.
Haleyy Baylee death rumour: Where did it even come from?
It all began with a TikTok video claiming that Haley had died under mysterious circumstances at her home in Palm Beach. The post included fake details like police investigating her ¡°death,¡± neighbours hearing loud arguments, and a black SUV speeding away. There was no real evidence, but the video went viral and left many questioning whether something had actually happened.
Haley responds to death claims with humour
Instead of denying the rumour in a serious way, Haley leaned into the moment with a perfectly timed joke. Last week, she shared a mock tribute video on Instagram that looked like a digital memorial. It showed fluffy clouds, soft music, and the message ¡°Forever in our hearts,¡± along with her real birthdate and a fake death date: August 6, 1992 ¨C May 2025.
She even joked about her own ¡°funeral,¡± writing that it would take place ¡°whenever I have time because I think I¡¯m still alive, so bring gifts.¡± She listed the cause of death as ¡°maybe foul play, idk yet,¡± playing along with the made-up details fans had seen online.
'I¡¯m starting to believe I¡¯m gone'
Despite Haley's clarifications across her social media platforms, one side of the internet has refused to believe she is alive, as fake viral videos continue to be later reposted. A TikTok video claiming she had died featured the message, ¡°Recently, we all found out we lost Haley Baylee. She¡¯ll forever be in our hearts. Rest in peace.¡± Reacting with her signature stunned face took to Instagram on Sunday, adding the caption, ¡°I¡¯m starting to believe I¡¯m gone.¡±
Fans flooded the comments with laughing emojis, relieved that she was okay and impressed by how she handled the rumour with so much personality.
