"It is with completely broken hearts that we announce that Virginia died last night on her farm in Western Australia," said a statement from Giuffre's family on Saturday, which her agent told the AFP news agency.

"She lost her life by suicide after being a lifelong victim of sexual abuse and sex trafficking," the statement from the 41-year-old's family continued.

Giuffre had accused the British Prince Andrew of sexually abusing her at the age of 17; billionaire Jeffrey Epstein is said to have initiated the contact.
