"Annabelle passed away this morning, we knew what was happening so family were with her," a relative told the Daily Mail Australia. "Her and Jessica had such a strong sister bond. They are seriously close sisters. I feel Jessica would have known her sister has passed.”

The horrific car crash that killed their parents - Lars Falkholt, 69, and his wife Vivian, 60 - is believed to have been caused by a head on collision. It is not yet known which of the cars was driving on the wrong side of the road. The 50-year old driver of the other vehicle was also killed at the scene. As well as her two-month stint on Home and Away, Jessica has appeared in many stage plays and also stars in the supernatural thriller Harmony, set to be released in 2018.
