Influencer honours friend's son after suspected pool death
American influencer Avery Woods has paid tribute to her best friend's young son, who died in hospital in May following an alleged drowning tragedy.
Emilie Kiser's three-year-old son Trigg died on May 18, days after he was reportedly found unconscious in the family's backyard pool in Arizona on May 12.
The lifestyle influencer, who boasts more than 4.6 million followers across Instagram, TikTok and YouTube, has remained silent about the tragedy, but her close friend honoured the adored little boy in a heartwarming way.
On Monday, Woods filmed a 'get ready with me' video for her fans on TikTok after being absent on the platform for weeks.
'Been a while since I put makeup on, so thought I'd get ready for our anniversary 🤍 missed you,' the influencer wrote in the caption.
The video showed Woods with her hair slicked back as she applied her makeup, wearing a white tank top.
Despite the clip being just over a minute long, eagle-eyed fans were quick to spot a touching detail included on one of her silver necklaces.

Her last video on May 13 was about how she planned to surprise her daughter Stevie with a Barbie-themed birthday party.
In a statement issued on behalf of the Chandler Police Department, spokesperson Sonu Wasu told People that Trigg was hospitalised after authorities responded to a drowning call on May 12.
The toddler was taken to Chandler Regional Medical Centre and then to Phoenix Children's Hospital in critical condition, according to AZ Central.
Kiser and her husband Brady are also parents to son Theodore, who was born in March.
The 26-year-old filed a lawsuit on May 27 in Arizona Superior Court for Maricopa County to keep records about Trigg's death out of public view, according to People.

'I'm not surprised': Tom Hanks breaks silence on daughter E.A. Hank's 'abusive' childhood claims made in her bombshell memoir
Tom Hanks has broken his silence on his daughter E.A. Hanks' claims she endured an 'abusive' childhood. The two-time Oscar winner, 68, praised E.A., 43, for the deeply personal memories of her difficult childhood she shared in her 2025 autobiography, The 10: A Memoir of Family And The Open Road. In it, she detailed the "violence and deprivation" she suffered at the hands of her late mother, Samantha Lewes. "It's a pride because, I think, she shares it with me, she's been very open about what the process is," Hanks told Access Hollywood of his feelings about the book at "The Phoenician Scheme" premiere last week. "I'm not surprised that my daughter had the wherewithal, as well as the curiosity, as well as, I'm going to say, perhaps, the 'shoot herself in the foot' kind of wherewithal in order to examine this thing that I think she was incredibly honest about." 'We all come from checked or cracked lives, all of us, despite the fact that part of it would seem as though she worked for some international well-known firm with a copyrighted last name,' the 'Forrest Gump' actor, 68, continued. 'She knows that, and she leans into absolutely everything of it, and I think anyone who does that is a bold journalistic literary mind, and I'm thrilled I can say the same thing about my daughter.' Hanks also explained that as a father, he realized who his daughter was when she was 6 weeks old, as he examined her 'personality,' 'temperament,' and the way she viewed the world through her 'body language.' The 'Cast Away' star shares E.A. and son Colin Hanks, 47, with Lewes, to whom he was married from 1978 to 1987. Lewes, born Susan Dillingham, passed away in 2002 from lung cancer. She was 49. In her tell-all book, E.A. recalled moving to Sacramento with her mum after her famous parents got a divorce. The author claimed that Lewes struggled with mental health issues and was often abusive toward her. 'She pushed me, shook me, pulled at my hair and locked me in a closet once or twice … she told me there were men hiding in her closet who were waiting for us to go to sleep to come out and do horrible things,' E.A., whose full name is Elizabeth Ann, wrote. She detailed her lifestyle at Lewes' home, explaining she was never told to brush her teeth, and there was either loads of food or nothing at all. She also alleged that Lewes would discuss her 'miscarried babies' and suggested E.A. would 'join them in eternal limbo.' When E.A. was in seventh grade, she moved to Los Angeles with her famous father after her mom's 'emotional violence became physical violence.' At the time, Tom had remarried his current wife, Rita Wilson, whom he wed in 1988. 'Rita's not really a stepmother, she's my other mother,' she told People in April. 'When I say my parents, I really mean my dad and Rita, because they've been together since before I can really remember.' Tom and Wilson, 68, share sons Chet, 34, and Truman, 29.

Olivia Munn feels as if she has reached ‘the other side' in life after health fight
Olivia Munn has reached 'the other side' in her life after a series of health traumas. The 'Your Friends and Neighbours' actress, 44, endured a string of brutal surgeries after a cancer diagnosis upended her life, and she has now spoken about how she feels as if she has been given a second chance at enjoying motherhood and her career. She told People: 'I'm so grateful to be on the other side. Everything feels easy in a way. 'I feel so at peace. If I can stay happy and healthy, then I just want to sail into the rest of my life.' The actress has three-year-old son Malcolm with comedian and actor John Mulaney, 42, and says handling him puts her into 'survival' mode at times when he unleashes tantrums. Olivia was diagnosed in April 2023 with luminal B breast cancer – a fast-growing, hormone-driven form of the disease – just months after recovering from postpartum anxiety following Malcolm's birth. She said about the experience: 'It was a whole other perspective, because I had been struggling with life in postpartum, and now I was so desperate to stay alive. 'From the moment I received my diagnosis, it just became a march forward.' She underwent a series of major medical interventions, including a double mastectomy, hysterectomy and ovary removal – and began IVF treatment on a specialised protocol for cancer patients. She and John were able to retrieve and fertilise seven eggs. Olivia added: 'I said, 'I really don't think I'll be okay unless we get two girl embryos. I know this puts me at risk, but I just need you to support me'. 'He said, 'Whatever you need'.' That same day, they learned they had two healthy female embryos. In September 2024, the couple had their daughter Méi via surrogate. Olivia said: 'We were so lucky to find someone so kind who we bonded with so much.' She and John couple married in July that year and said she felt as if she recently needed to get back to acting to 'energise' herself. Olivia is now filming season two of 'Your Friends and Neighbours' in New York, commuting regularly back to California, where John is raising the children and taping his Netflix variety show 'Everybody's Live'. She added: 'It's a dance right now with our schedules. 'We make it work simply because we have the mindset that it's a blessing.'

Meghan Markle shares delivery room twerking video to celebrate daughter Lilibet's birthday
Turning four is a big deal and Meghan Markle is celebrating daughter Lilibet achieving the milestone with an Instagram blitz of intimate photos — and even a video of her and Prince Harry dancing in the delivery room on the day she was born. In an extraordinary insight into their private lives, the former senior royals can be seen in a viral TikTok-style video busting a move. Meghan and Harry are known to fiercely guard the privacy of Lilibet and Archie but appear to have changed their tune. Clutching her very pregnant belly and with an IV port in her left arm, in the video, Meghan looks calm and happy as she twerks to The Baby Momma Dance by Starrkeisha from 2013. Prince Harry also makes an appearance throwing down his best dad moves. SEE THE VIDEO IN THE PLAYER ABOVE Meghan joked that the dancing was a last resort to bring on the birth, given Lilibet was a week overdue at the time. 'Four years ago today, this also happened. Both of our children were a week past their due dates… so when spicy food, all that walking, and acupuncture didn't work - there was only one thing left to do!' Meghan wrote alongside the video. Meghan has also shared a photo of a touching moment between Prince Harry and his then baby daughter lovingly making eye contact and another of the pair barefoot and dressed casually walking on a dirt road while holding hands. 'The sweetest bond to watch unfold. Daddy's little girl and favorite adventurer,' she wrote. The first social media post in the birthday photo blitz was of Meghan, apparently on a boat, make-up free and with windswept hair cuddling Lili. 'Happy birthday to our beautiful girl! Four years ago today she came into our lives - and each day is brighter and better because of it. Thanks to all of those sending love and celebrating her special day!' Lilibet is Meghan and Prince Harry second child, their first, Archie, is two years older. She was born on June 4, 2021 — a year after the pair's infamous 'Megxit' from the UK and royal duties. Her full name is Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor, a nod to Prince Harry's grandmother Queen Elizabeth and his mother Princess Diana.
