Corey La Barrie passed away on Sunday after a car accident in Los Angeles. It was the 25th birthday of a YouTube star.

His brother Jarrad La Barrie shared the news on Instagram Tribute on Monday, describing it as “the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do.”

“It’s not that I thought I would ever have to sit here and type for a very long time … but everyone deserves to know that my brother Corey died last night in a car accident with his drunk friend driving.” Jarrad La Barrie wrote.

Daniel Joseph Silva, a well-known tattoo artist, was arrested Monday night on suspicion of murder.

The Los Angeles Police Department said the 27-year-old Silva was driving fast in the 2020 McLaren 600LT around 9:40 p.m. On Sunday when he lost control, he ran off the road and hit a stop sign and a tree on the corner of Houston Street and Carpenter Avenue in Valley Village.

Silva’s passenger, whom the police identified only as a 25-year-old man, died in a hospital. An LAPD spokesman said Monday that the department did not name the victim because his immediate family has not yet been notified. Silva tried to avoid a disaster, but was stopped by people who came to the rescue, LAPD said.

Corey La Barrie recently turned to the publication of a video stating that he and his roommates, as well as authorities, were before they stayed home due to the coronavirus crisis.

His Sunday birthday celebration included a live broadcast on his Twitch channel. He shared his plans with followers on YouTube in a video posted on Saturday entitled “Removing this video in 24 hours ….”
