Camryn Magness, the Denver-born pop singer who once toured the world with One Direction, has died at age 26 after being struck while riding an electric scooter in Fort Myers, Florida.
News of her passing was confirmed this week through a heartfelt statement shared on her official social media pages.
Her family described her as a “radiant force,” remembering a young artist whose creativity and warmth left a deep impact on everyone around her.
The statement read: “Our hearts are heavy as we mourn the loss of our beloved Camryn, a radiant force whose voice, coy, and bright spirit touched so many.
“Whether beneath the waves or on stage, she met life with fearless energy and boundless kindness.
“In the quiet between waves, her memory will surface—bright, bold, unforgotten.
“Rest in endless blue, our sweet girl. You are deeply loved and forever cherished.
“Please keep her family and friends in prayer as they navigate this difficult time. Camryn will live on in our hearts forever.”
Born in 1999, Camryn began her musical journey at just eight years old, sharing YouTube videos that quickly gained attention and led to a record deal. Her early momentum pushed her to Los Angeles, where she continued developing her sound and expanding her growing fanbase.
Her debut single Wait and See gained mainstream attention after appearing in the 2011 movie Judy Moody and the Not Bummer Summer. That same year, she hit the road with Cody Simpson and Greyson Chance, showcasing her rising star power.
Her biggest breakthrough came when she joined One Direction as a supporting act during their 2012 Up All Night Tour across the United States.
Impressed by her talent and stage presence, the group invited her back the following year for 63 shows on their massive Take Me Home Tour—a dream opportunity that introduced her to audiences around the world.
Camryn is survived by her parents, her siblings, and her fiancée. Tributes continue to pour in across social media, with fans and fellow artists remembering her bright personality, her determination, and the mark she left on pop music during her short but impactful career.
