Her husband, George Kowszik, confirmed her death, according to the New York Post.
De Jesus leaves behind four children from a previous marriage.
Her daughter, Anna Clara, posted a tribute to her Instagram.
“I, Anna Clara, am posting this note of condolence,” a rough translation of the caption reads.
“We are very saddened by the death of our beautiful mother.
“We thank you for all the prayers and condolences.
“Keep praying for us. Thanks.”
De Jesus’ Instagram has over 58,000 followers who shared their feelings over the influencer’s death.
“I feel so very much,” wrote a commentor.
“I’m lost for words.
“Take care of yourselves!”
“Surreal,” wrote another.
“Still can’t believe it, may God comfort the family.”
“I can’t image the size of the sadness and pain of your children,” wrote a third.
“I pray to God to give you strength to carry on.
“Mila was loved by all of us, and she will always remain in our hearts.”
In October, De Jesus announced that she had been suffering from psoriasis, which affected 80% of her body, for three months.
Psoriasis is a skin condition that affects 125 million people worldwide, according to the National Psoriasis Foundation.
The disease is most commonly characterized by itchy, scaly patches on the skin, according to the Mayo Clinic.
While it’s not a curable condition, many are able to treat their symptoms with topical ointments and light therapy.
In November, the mother of four posted a side-by-side photo of her transformation that began in 2017.
“13 years between one picture…” the caption read.
“6 years since a decision that changed my life in so many ways.
“On one side, Mila aged 22, and on the other Mila aged 35, how much we change huh, how we grow and how we learn.
“Pride girl pride.”
