Real Housewives of New Jersey personality Milania Giudice and her family took to social media to mourn her close friend, Victoria Zardoya, after her sudden, accidental death.
Joe Giudice, Gia Giudice, Audriana Giudice, and Teresa Giudice all shared messages paying tribute to Milania’s close friend, whom the 20-year-old called “my best friend, my sister, my world.”
Milania shared photos of her and Victoria on her Instagram Stories, as well as a TikTok of them. She captioned her post, “My sweet girl, my best friend.”
The 20-year-old’s cause of death has yet to be determined, but Joe Giudice, Milania’s dad, said it was a “simple fall” that took her life. Joe wrote, “Victoria, you were like a daughter to me. I watched you grow up with my daughter Milania. We were neighbors for years, and you became part of our family. I can’t believe you’re gone.”
He added, “To think that a simple fall while just being young and having fun could take such a beautiful life is heartbreaking. You were only 20 years old, with your whole future ahead of you.”
Joe encouraged his followers to not “take a single day or the people you love” for granted. “Victoria, you will be missed more than you’ll ever know. You’ll always have a place in our hearts, and I’ll never forget you. My heart is with your family.”
Teresa shared a snap from a church on Sunday, alongside the caption: “We love Victoria.” Gia, Milania’s big sister, also paid tribute to Victoria. The Next Gen NYC star posted, “Heaven gained a beautiful angel today. 20 years too young, my sweet angel.”
Audriana, the youngest of the siblings, added in a message of her own that the family friend will be “loved and missed forever.”
