World-renowned ballerina Michaela DePrince, who rose to fame after being adopted from war-torn Sierra Leone, has died suddenly at the age of 29. DePrince, known for her performances with the Boston Ballet and in Beyoncé's 'Lemonade,' passed away on September 10, followed a day later by her adoptive mother Elaine DePrince's death during a routine medical procedure. Michaela, who was called the 'devil's child' in her orphanage due to vitiligo, overcame numerous challenges to become a beacon of hope and inspiration in the ballet world. The family has not disclosed the cause of Michaela's death but expressed their profound grief. Elaine, who had already lost three other children, was spared the pain of learning about Michaela's death before her own passing. Tributes have poured in, celebrating Michaela's grace, strength, and humanitarian efforts.
