and Little Inez from Hairspray was also iconic lol anyway, RIP Kianna you will be deeply missed by fans all over 
and it's still hard to believe she's gone too soon. she was such a talented actress and singer, always loved watching her as Fuschia Glover in "Little Bill" 
she had so much talent and energy, it's crazy that her life ended like this... I'm still trying to wrap my head around the fact that both drivers just left the scene 
no wonder they're still looking for them, it's a total mystery. I feel bad for her family, friends, and fans who are still trying to process what happened 
rest in peace Kianna, you will be deeply missed 
It's crazy to think about how quickly life can change, one minute you're living your best life and the next... RIP Kianna, you'll never be forgotten
