The family respectfully asks for their privacy as they grieve during this very difficult time," the statement reads.

The late reality star's personal publicist, Liz Dixson, told PEOPLE that Ross was severely injured when the car she was in collided with another vehicle near Old National Hwy in Atlanta around 11 p.m. Sunday. Ross succumbed to these injuries Monday at Grady Memorial Hospital at around 10:30 p.m., Dixson said. Ross is survived by her mother Tammy Jackson, her aunt Veronica Deloney, her uncle John Deloney and her grandmother Rose Deloney.

Ross has been an integral member of Little Women: Atlanta since the start, showing the ins and outs of the music industry alongside castmates Briana Barlup, Tiffany "Monie" Cashette, Emily Fernandez, and the Salinas twins. "I wanted to be part of this movement because I want everyone to see our point of view in life. I want people to, you know, see what we go through. The everyday struggle that little people go through in life," she previously told MadameNoire. "When people say the struggle is real? It's real. We go through hell and back."
