Jane spoke about her heartbreaking loss in a statement to TMZ when the news of her daughter’s passing came to light.
‘I am in shock from learning of the sudden death of my daughter, Bobbie Jean; and I will need time to process the terrible reality of this happening for the third time.’
‘When I am able to think clearly, I’ll release a fuller statement; but until then I would request to be left to grieve in private.’
She added: ‘However deeply a parent feels the loss of a child, the suffering of a young child at the loss of a parent must be much greater.’
‘So, I would ask the sympathetic to say a prayer for my precious eight year old granddaughter Bella, who previously lost her father and is now also left without her mother.’
Fans may know Bobbie Jean from her appearance in the reality show House of Carters, which aired in 2006.
She, like her late brother Aaron and late sister Leslie, struggled with substance abuse.
Aaron died from an accidental drowning in November 2022 at his home in Lancaster, California, caused after his inhaling difluoroethane and taking alprazolam, the generic form of brand-name Xanax. He was 34.

Leslie died of a drug overdose at age 25 in 2012 which was caused by a toxic combination of prescription medications.
In June, Bobbie was arrested on a shoplifting charge for an incident at Hobby Lobby and was put on a suicide watch after threatening to kill herself.
Investigators discovered she was in possession of fentanyl, potent synthetic opioid drug similar to morphine but 50 to 100 times more powerful.
If Bobbie Jean did die of a heart attack as her family reportedly believes, her drug use could have contributed to it, according to the National Library of Medicine.
Aaron’s team exclusively told DailyMail.com in a statement that it has been a year of ‘such loss and tragedy’ for the family.
