Everleigh's mum took to social media to share the tragic news on Thursday.

The nine-year-old's devastated mother, Savannah LaBrant, 29, shared the news alongside a poignant photo of the father and daughter.

"Our hearts are incredibly heavy as we process the loss of Everleigh's dad, Tommy," she penned.

"He loved Everleigh immensely. As we navigate through this difficult time we kindly ask for privacy so that our family may continue to love on Ev, pray and grieve with her.

"Your prayers for Everleigh are so very appreciated."

Savannah, who is married to Cole LaBrant, did not share Smith's cause of death.
