How Milania Giudice’s BFF Victoria Zardoya Died, Fell at Florida Fort Dade

Amid the tragic incident, Silberbusch emphasized that Zardoya was “surrounded by people who cared, people who fought for her, and people who refused to give up hope” and that “every person there did everything within their power to help her.”

The Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office in Tampa, Fla., confirmed to E! News in a July 27 statement that their Marine Unit “arrived at Egmont Key on July 24, 2026 at 6:08 p.m. after receiving reports that someone had fallen from one of the structures.” While authorities didn’t confirm the victim’s identity, they said she was transported to a local hospital in critical condition.

She died two days later on July 26, according to Silberbusch, who added, “There are experiences that divide your life into a before and an after. This was one of them.”

Following Zardoya’s unexpected death, Silberbusch asked for everyone to support her family and emphasized the importance of cherishing life.

“If this tragedy reminds us of anything, I hope it’s this: life is unimaginably precious,” she concluded. “Hold the people you love a little tighter. Say the things you’ve been meaning to say. None of us know how many ordinary moments we have left.”
