The agency captioned the post, “Rest In peace @busi_lurayi.”

Lurayi had starred in the Netflix series “How to Ruin Christmas” since 2020, playing the main character of Tumi Sello, who tries to make things right after ruining her sister’s perfectly planned Christmas Day wedding. Hilarity ensues as the free-spirited Tumi tries to right her wrongs.

After the initial season’s success, Netflix followed it up with the second season of four episodes, entitled How to Ruin Christmas: The Funeral. Then just three weeks ago, Netflix announced another season called How to Ruin Christmas: The Babyshower, which is currently in production.

May she rest in peace.
