Australian Influencer Erin Oudshoorn Announces Death of Daughter Lulu, 6, After Long Epilepsy Battle

Her Little Lulu Love account chronicled a rare, treatment‑resistant epilepsy that she used to raise funds for childhood epilepsy in Australia.

Overview

  • Lulu’s mother said in a Jan. 27 Instagram post that her daughter “passed away peacefully in our arms,” adding that the family is “utterly broken.”
  • Lulu was diagnosed in infancy with West syndrome and later with Lennox‑Gastaut syndrome, conditions associated with frequent seizures and developmental impairment.
  • Oudshoorn has said roughly 15 anti‑epileptic medications failed to control Lulu’s daily seizures, and doctors did not identify a clear cause.
  • The @little.lulu.love page amassed more than 23,000 followers as Oudshoorn documented her daughter’s life and raised money for Epilepsy Action Australia.
  • Supporters and charities, including the Tiny Hearts Foundation, posted condolences, while earlier updates noted months of illness in 2025 that included pneumonia.
