Chase died on Tuesday following a case of meningitis and an infection in her blood, which caused her to suffer septic issues and lead to her body shutting down, according to her boyfriend Roy Hernandez.

TMZ was the first to report this news.

According to the outlet, Chase was admitted to a Los Angeles hospital earlier this month due to malnutrition.

A rep for Chase did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.

The actress rose to fame at a young age after landing the lead role as Lilo in Disney’s “Lilo & Stitch” film in 2002. She also reprised her role in the franchise’s TV series.

Prior to her breakout role, she also voiced the character of Chihiro Ogino in the American dub of “Spirited Away.”

Also in 2002, she gave a haunting performance as Samara Morgan in the horror classic, “The Ring,” which earned her an MTV Movie Award for Best Villain.

In 2006, she landed a recurring role in HBO’s “Big Love” as Rhonda Volmer. She made 32 appearances throughout the show’s five-season run.

Her additional credits include “Donnie Darko,” “Sabrina the Teenage Witch,” “Beethoven’s 5th,” “ER,” “Mercy” and more.

But, her onscreen appearances stop after she starred in “American Romance” in 2016.

“I just want to make something that I love and people will respect,” Chase previously told Interview of her career in 2009.

“I want to do things that will change someone’s life, not something they’ll forget about tomorrow.”

After her final role, Chase kept a low profile away from the spotlight. Her last Instagram post, which was shared in 2017, showed the actress artfully posing with a unicorn balloon.

“Unicorns DO exist 😻,” she captioned the post.

Shortly before her death, a GoFundMe was created by her boyfriend to help Chase “find comfort and peace” in her final days.

“Daveigh Chase, my girlfriend, has always been a light in my life. Many people know her as a talented childhood actor from ‘Lilo & Stitch,’ ‘Spirited Away,’ and ‘Donnie Darko.’ But behind the scenes, she’s faced more than her share of hardship,” the campaign reads.

“After a difficult childhood and a painful falling out with her family, Daveigh was bullied and struggled to find safety and happiness in downtown LA. When we met, I promised to protect her and give her the love and comfort she deserved. Together, we found moments of happiness and hope.”

“All she ever wanted was a place where we could live together, feel safe, and be happy. Now, more than ever, I want to give her that sense of home and peace in her final days,” Hernandez wrote at the time.
