On March 2, she explained to her followers that she wanted to organise a memorial event to mark a year since the death of her child.
It came as she also revealed the devastating news that she would be unlikely to conceive a child naturally after "growing up with a severe eating disorder."
She said on Instagram: “Around this time last year, I lost my child, and I would like to do something in remembrance of her.
"Preferably something with flowers on a beach or spend the day just mourning.
"I’d really appreciate if anyone in Adelaide would do that with me, so please reach out.”
Fans have flooded the Instagram post with their condolences.

You're Not Alone
EVERY 90 minutes in the UK a life is lost to suicide.
It doesn't discriminate, touching the lives of people in every corner of society - from the homeless and unemployed to builders and doctors, reality stars and footballers.
It's the biggest killer of people under the age of 35, more deadly than cancer and car crashes.
And men are three times more likely to take their own life than women.
Yet it's rarely spoken of, a taboo that threatens to continue its deadly rampage unless we all stop and take notice, now.
That is why The Sun launched the You're Not Alone campaign.
The aim is that by sharing practical advice, raising awareness and breaking down the barriers people face when talking about their mental health, we can all do our bit to help save lives.
