Gossip Girl star Michelle Trachtenberg raised concerns among her fans after sharing 10 Instagram posts over the past three weeks ahead of her death at age 39.

Prior to her shock pᴀssing, the star was extremely active on social media. 

Her final Instagram post, uploaded seven days ago, was a throwback picture of her attending the Killing Kennedy premiere at the Saban Theatre on November 4, 2013 in Beverly Hills. 

‘I wanted to look like naughty #tinkerbelI wanted to look like naughty #tinkerbell,’ she captioned the picture, which showed her posing on the red carpet. 

Days prior, she shared another older picture and joke about not letting the ‘Sunday scaries’ get to her. 

She was clearly in a nostalgic mood as she also recently shared a snap, taken in 2011 at the School of American Ballet Winter Ball, and a cheeky suggestion for those without Valentine’s Day plans to watch her true crime docuseries, Meet, Marry, Murder.

She is believed to have died of natural causes and police are not treating the death as suspicious, sources added to the New York Post.

She also had a recurring role as ‘The Witch of the Upper East Side’ Georgina Sparks in Gossip Girl spanning 2008-2012.

In recent years Trachtenberg had sparked concern for her health after sharing troubling social media posts in which she looked frail.

In 2023 Michelle reprised her role as the wedding-spoiling, manipulative socialite in two episodes of the second (and final) season of HBO Max’s Gossip Girl reboot.

Trachtenberg’s last major gig was executive producing and hosting the 13-episode true-crime docuseries Meet, Marry, Murder for Tubi TV in 2021.

In 2018, she had voiceover gigs on her buddy Seth Green’s animated spoof Robot Chicken on Adult Swim as well as the Facebook Watch animated series Human Kind Of.

Last year the star hit back at ‘haters’ who expressed concern over her health and appearance.

The former child star – who boasts 1.1M Instagram/Twitter followers – wrote’Fun fact. This is my face. Not malnutrition no problems. Why do you have [to] hate? Get a calendar.’

The drama began when Michelle shared a snap of herself about to get her hair done at Tracey Cunningham’s Mèche salon in Beverly Hills.

A fan asked: ‘Michelle [you] look sick. [Are you] ok?’

Trachtenberg replied: ‘@cathy_critz explain to me how I look sick. Did you lose a calendar and not realize I’m not 14? I’m 38. How sad for you to leave such a comment.’

The next day, she posted yet another selfie with the defiant caption: ‘I’ve received several comments recently about my appearance. I have never had plastic surgery. I am happy and healthy. Check yourself haters.’

It was further reported the actress recently underwent a liver transplant and ‘may have been experiencing complications’

Michelle uploaded two more selfies she took and, again, fans clarified they’re not worried about plastic surgery or malnutrition but rather her ‘thinning hair and yellow eyes.’
