Originally hailing from Germany, Jessica had previously pursued a career as an entertainment journalist in Los Angeles before transitioning to work in the media industry in her home country.
Following the heart-wrenching incident that claimed the lives of Christian Oliver and his two beloved daughters, Jessica Muroz’s family released a statement on Wundabar Pilates’s Instagram page to mourn the devastating loss.
A part of the statement revealed a lot about the two children’s lives. It said:
“Madita, a vibrant 7th-grade student at Louis Armstrong Middle School, was known for her lively spirit and excelled in academics, dance, singing, and performances. Annik, a 4th-grade student at Wonderland Ave Elementary School, was recognized for her gentle yet strong demeanor… Her passions included basketball, swimming, and various forms of art.”
The statement further said:
“Their devoted mother, Jessica Klepser in LA, survives the girls. They also leave behind their grandparents, several aunts, uncles, and cousins in Germany.”
Jessica Muroz’s family also wrote that Christian, known for his work as an actor in Europe and the US and his career as a real estate agent, leaves behind a grieving family that includes Jessica, his parents, and his sister in Germany. They have also set up a GoFundMe for the family.
