Sarah’s 14 year-old cousin Trevor Canaday was killed in a car accident on Saturday and the actress opened up a GoFund me account requesting donations for the funeral.
This is my 14-year-old cousin Trevor. Yesterday, he was killed by a drunk driver. My Uncle is still in the hospital in need of more surgeries,' Sarah wrote on Instagram requesting for $10,000 towards the fees of the funeral.
But the request was hit by a barrage of negative abuse towards the star which resulted in Sarah hitting back on Twitter.
'I'd like to ask those who have negative thoughts or opinions about the tragedy that happened to my family, to keep them to themselves. You don't know all the details. And how dare you attack when a beautiful life has been lost,' Sarah wrote.
The negative comments suggested that the star, who is worth millions was not in a position to request donations.
'Awkward moment when you are worth 9million and only donate 1k to your cousins go fund me account lol' wrote user @jojoozz21.
'Says alot about the kind of person you are, that you would ask your followers to donate for your cousins funeral, when you sit in a position of great privilege and have more money then most of us would ever hope to see in our lifetimes.

'My suggestion, use your practically bottomless bank account to give your cousin the send off he deserves and stop asking people that can barely keep their electricity on, to pick up the pieces.' wrote @renroseandcat.
Sarah was later forced to then announce she was going off social media.
‘You guys finally did it. Your horrible negative ignorant words have broken me. Happy? Staying offline for a while. I have a special announcement and video releasing on Wednesday I believe. So. There’s that,’ the 24-year old wrote.
