Bling Empire: New York star Lynn Ban dead at 51 after suffering brain bleed in Aspen skiing accident

He remembered his mom as "my best friend, the best mother to me, and someone who cared for all."

Sebastian said Ban "always had a smile on her face" even during her difficult recovery following her ski accident.

"She was a fighter until the end and is the strongest woman I know.

"She was the funniest and coolest mum I could ever ask for," Sebastian said, adding that she took care of their entire family throughout her life.

"Although she may be gone now, I will do everything I can to make sure she is never forgotten and for her life to be celebrated as it deserves to be."

Sebastian concluded his tribute by telling his mom that he will miss her "forever," adding "I love you more than life itself."

Ban, who was 51, was a jewelry designer and starred on the reality show Bling Empire: New York.

On December 30, the reality star posted a picture showing her shaved head with stitches in it after surgery.

"I had a bit of a headache but thought after lunch it would be fine and I could ski again," she continued.

But at a paramedic's suggestion, the reality star went to the hospital with her husband, Jett Kain, for a CAT scan.

Within 30 minutes, doctors told Ban she had a brain bleed and needed to be airlifted to a trauma hospital.

"Last thing I remember was being intubated and waking up after an emergency craniotomy with Jett by my side," Ban recalled.

In the now-heartbreaking post, Ban said she had a "long road of recovery ahead."

"Grateful and blessed to see the new year," she wrote.
