"The last thing I wanted to do was acknowledge this painful family tragedy publicly, but it’s come to my attention that several news outlets have misgendered my sweet nephew and some haven’t even mentioned baby Luca," she captioned a picture of the three victims of the crash.
As Hilty explained, her sister Lauren was eight months pregnant with a baby boy she and her husband Ross Mickel had decided to name Luca. Ross was also on the plane, as was their baby Remy. They are survived by a daughter. "Lauren and Ross left behind my niece who we are all holding in our hearts," wrote Hilty."Thankfully, she was not on the plane and we ask that her name and personal information be kept private as she is a minor."
To the media outlets that purportedly misgendered Hilty's nephew, she wrote that it's"important these details be corrected to respectfully honor everyone we’ve lost and the loved ones they’ve left behind."
