The family of Celeste Rivas Hernandez has broken their silence for the first time since the tragic killing of the 14-year-old girl, whose remains were discovered last year in a Tesla vehicle connected to musician D4vd. Their emotional public statement was issued on Tuesday, shortly after prosecutors formally charged the singer with first-degree murder in relation to her death.
Family's Heartfelt Message to the Public
In a message released to the public, the grieving family expressed their gratitude to investigators and the local community while fondly remembering the teenager as a vibrant and beloved presence taken far too soon. 'We would like to thank the Los Angeles Police Department and the District Attorney's Office for their hard work and dedication. We also extend our heartfelt thanks to the people of Lake Elsinore for all their unwavering support during this difficult time,' the family wrote.
Remembering Celeste's Life and Legacy
'Celeste was a beautiful, strong girl who loved to sing and dance with boundless energy. Every Friday night was dedicated to movie night, and we shared many wonderful and cherished moments together as a family,' the statement continued. 'We love her very much, and she always made sure to tell us that she loved us too. Her absence leaves a deep void in our lives, and we miss her profoundly. All we seek now is justice for Celeste.'
The family's statement marks their first public communication since a suspect was charged in connection with her murder, highlighting their ongoing grief and determination for accountability in this heartbreaking case.
