Her heartbroken sister announced the star's passing with selfie of them on a plane alongside the caption: “I love you sister and I will always love you.
“I give thanks to God for giving me a sister like you with your big heart. Rest in peace my sister.”
She followed it up with a tearful video message thanking Acosta's fans for the support.

She continued saying that at one moment Acosta was happily eating dinner before she started to "choke and have difficulties breathing".
Moments later she started to become overwhelmed and faced an "attack of some kind".
The family rushed the 27-year-old to hospital but doctors couldn't save her.
Carol moved to the US from the Dominican Republic when she was 12 and suffered from bullying of her weight.
But the influencer managed to turn this torment into humour and built up a huge fan base of over 6.6 million followers.
She released a song in 2017 titled Me Amo y No Me Importa - which in English translates as I love myself and I don’t care.
A month earlier she revealed she had decided to embrace God and turn her back on drugs.
She said: “I repented, I died, I was born again. And my brothers and sisters I am now proudly free from sin. God forgave me and it feels so good to be free from the anxiety and depression that used to force me to take drugs and do things I didn't want to do.”
In a video post just a day before her death, tragic Carol said as she posed in a tight-fitting black dress with make-up on: “I always thought God had his favourites because there are people who eat and don’t get fat.
“But looking at me properly, are you telling me, someone who has no extensions and has not gone in for any cosmetic surgery when I’m looking like this!!
“I’m on that list of favourites and no-one’s going to convince me otherwise.”
