Billy LeBlanc has shared the heartbreaking news that his girlfriend has died.

LeBlanc found fame on social media by creating content with his kids and ex-wife, Katie LeBlanc.

After separating from Katie, he branched out and started creating his own YouTube content and has over 200,000 subscribers on his video channel as well as 646,000 Instagram followers.

Katie and Billy shared three kids together, but heartbreakingly their young son Caleb died of natural causes in 2015.

Now, the family have been hit with another devastating loss in the wake of Billy's girlfriend's death.

Billy had been dating Natalie Clark for several years up until her recent passing.

Both the 44-year-old YouTuber and his partner had fallen unwell after eating raw oysters and Billy says he woke up in hospital to learn that Natalie 'was gone'.

In a heartbreaking video shared to social media on July 16, Billy explained to his fans: "We ate oysters and we both felt sick for a couple of days, and then I woke up and she was gone."

"I spent 12 days in the hospital and eight days in ICU," Billy went on. "I don't remember much of it - I was pretty much out of it most of the time."

He continued to say that he is 'trying to figure his life out' following Natalie's unexpected death.

Elsewhere, Billy shared a series of snaps of him and Natalie together. He wrote alongside the photos: "I’m sure none of you know but I recently almost died. I was in the hospital for 12 days.

"Unfortunately Natalie didn’t make it and she passed away. I will always remember how we got lost everywhere together. I will always love her and miss her. Be safe and hold your loved ones."

It's reported that Natalie contracted a virus called Vibrio Vulnificus from the raw shellfish.

This is a type of bacteria that can cause a fatal infection, the Cleveland Clinic states. People who think they may have the virus are urged to go to the ER as soon as possible as it can 'quickly lead to sepsis, shock and large, spreading blisters that destroy tissues'.

Symptoms of Vibrio Vulnificus include fever; chills; skin redness; vomiting; and increased heart rate.
