On Wild N° Out's official Instagram page, the team posted a final confirmation of her passing and expressed their sympathies to Smith.


"We are deeply saddened by the passing of Jacklyn Smith, better known to the world as Jacky Oh, a talented Wild N' Out family member whose impact will be forever treasured and missed," the message stated. 


"Over the course of five seasons, Jacky Oh was a devoted friend and much-loved teammate of the Wild N' Out cast. More significantly, she was an amazing mother to her three lovely kids.


The Smith family, DC Young Fly, B Simone, Nick Cannon, and all Jacky Oh's pals are shown our sincere condolences by the BET Media Group during this terrible time.



Since they first met on the program in 2015, Smith and comic DC Young Fly have been romantically involved. Prince, Nala, and Nova were the couple's three children. According to her Instagram feed, Smith was no longer a cast member of the show as of 2023 and was employed as a realtor.


The family and friends of Jacklyn Smith who are mourning her passing get our sincere sympathies from VIBE.
