BREAKING NEWS Tanner Martin is dead at 30: Influencer announces his own death in video weeks after birth of his first child
The popular influencer Tanner Martin has died at the age of 30.
In a surprising move, it was Tanner himself who delivered the news in a heartbreaking pre-recorded video posted Wednesday to Instagram by his wife Shay Wright.
Tanner bid his fans a final farewell just 41 days after he and his wife welcomed their first child, a daughter.
The couple had documented his difficult journey on social media after he was diagnosed with colorectal cancer five years earlier.
Tanner was as smiley and disarming as ever as he addressed the camera directly from what appeared to be his hospice room.
'Hey, it's me, Tanner. If you are watching this, I am dead,' he began, before easing some of the tension with a laugh at his own gallows humor.

Beloved ice cream chain reveals limited-time menu with new items inspired by Sydney Sweeney
Baskin-Robbins is kicking off summer with a sweet collaboration — enlisting Euphoria actress Sydney Sweeney to help launch a new line of colorful, candy-packed desserts. Starting Tuesday, the ice cream chain will debut two limited-time creations under the 'Sweet on Sydney' menu. Guests can choose between Sydney's Signature Scoop and Sydney's Signature Fizz. The newest scoop snack features rainbow sherbet in a chocolate-dipped waffle cone with rainbow sprinkles and gummi bears. Fans interested in Sydney's fizzy beverage instead can enjoy a blend of rainbow sherbet with Starry lemon lime soda topped with gummi bears. Customers will also be able to snag a limited-time color changing gummi bear cup while supplies last. Sweeney has been a longtime Baskin-Robins fan whose go-to treat is always rainbow sherbet. 'Baskin-Robbins has been part of my life for as long as I can remember — it's where a lot of great memories were made, and I still find myself going back pretty often,' she said. The ice cream collaboration may come as no surprise to Sweeney fans after the actress praised Baskin Robins last year in New York Magazine. 'If I'm near Baskin-Robbins, I'll get a rainbow sherbet with gummy bears on top in a chocolate-dipped waffle cone with sprinkles. If I'm in Europe, then I usually get a raspberry sorbet,' she said. Sweeney has been in a number of talked-about ads that fans on social media either loved or hated. An example is her collaboration with men's grooming brand Dr. Squatch for a limited-edition 'Bathwater Bliss' soap bar, which features droplets of Sweeney's used bathwater. She also posed in a risqué country-themed photoshoot for HEYDUDE shoes earlier this month. For Baskin-Robins, she toned down her scandalous personality, and embraced the chain's latest sweet treats in a fun, goofy way. Besides Sweeney, the ice cream chain has collaborated with famous figures like gossip reported DeuxMoi and celebrity jeweler Susan Alexandria. Its also famous for hiring famous figures such as Bobby Flay, Julia Roberts, and Barack Obama before they entered the spotlight.

Lorraine Kelly admits she's 'in trouble' as she addresses 'sneaky' rule break
ITV's Lorraine Kelly has broken her silence after Jamie Laing and Sophie Habboo sparked fury after sharing a video of them dancing inside Buckingham Palace Lorraine Kelly has let slip a mischievous detail about her own Buckingham Palace experience as she weighed in on the latest regal controversy. The disclosure arose during a chat about Jamie Laing and Sophie Habboo's recent online sensation – a video in which the pair are seen dancing within the opulent halls of the Queen's residence. This clip has caused a stir, with speculations that the dance was a sly dig at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's "Baby Mama" dance footage shared when the Duchess was expecting. Given the strict no-filming rules at the palace, the Made in Chelsea alums' antics have raised more than a few eyebrows, leading to less-than-flattering judgments from the public. While discussing the faux pas during her ITV show on Thursday, Lorraine branded Jamie and Sophie "a bit naughty" but couldn't resist revealing her own lapse in Royal protocol during her visit to the famed palace, reports the Express. Joining the conversation, broadcaster Paul Brand remarked: "I mean, they were breaking protocol. I personally feel that as a very aggrieved news broadcaster, if I did that, I'd definitely be off to the tower. "They've got really strict rules about filing in Buckingham Palace and then if you're an influencer, you can get away with it! You can get away with anything. I hear that you got away with it, Lorraine?" Lorraine confessed, lightly: "Well, I may or may not have taken a sneaky photograph. I'll tell you for why, that painting reminded me so much of Joe Lycett! I had to take a picture because that's Joe Lycett! He's had another life." The cheeky snap that Kelly captured was shared with ITV viewers, showing her mimicking the pose of a figure in a palace painting with a thoughtful finger to her chin. The host confessed: "I know I'm not supposed to do that, I'll get into trouble, I shan't ever do it again." Intrigued, a guest queried whether she had faced any repercussions for her actions, to which Lorraine responded: " No, I don't know that they knew... well they do now, so I'm in trouble!" It appears this wasn't the only time Lorraine has bent the Royal rules, as she once posted a picture with TV editor Victoria Kennedy in the grand hallway on Instagram.

While in the process of finding a space that better fits the needs of her family, the actress, 45, successfully offloaded her three-bedroom, four-bathroom property in Silver Lake for $4.1 million. In late March, a representative from her listing agency confirmed to People that the actress was looking for a larger place to accommodate a displaced relative.

Christina's home was listed by real estate agent Lorraine Getz, who told the outlet: 'This property is truly one of a kind and homes like this don't come along often, especially in Silverlake.

The rooftop deck takes it to another level. 'It's perched high on a cul-de-sac for ultimate privacy, yet just at the end of the street, a hidden staircase connects you to Silver Lake's best spots - amazing dining, coffee, and boutiques, all just moments away.' The pool sits besides a spacious area which boasts views of the city and mountain landscape. Open living: The living room has a large fireplace beneath a built in tv and opens up completely on to one of the tiled decks The rooftop terrace is covered, with plenty of room to relax and enjoy the sights and sounds of the city and nature landscape. The second floor balcony is tiled and has ample space for a couch and table making it an ideal entertaining space and has a tiled staircase leading to the rooftop terrace. Inside the property the living room features floor to ceiling sliding doors, which can be opened completely to give unobstructed views of the skyline and trees.
