A mum-of-five who died after a liquid Brazilian Butt Lift was a “beautiful person inside and out”, said a friend.

Beauty therapist Alice Delsie Preete Webb, 33, passed away on Monday after undergoing the celebrity-style procedure. And now Alice’s friend Abi Irwin has told how the BBL had “gone wrong” and that her death was heartbreaking for the family.

Alice was a "beautiful person inside and out" said Abi, who continued: "Alice passed away on Monday evening after having a BBL treatment which has gone wrong. [She] had the biggest heart, her family was her world - it is a difficult and heartbreaking time for them all."

Alice, who ran her own beauty business in the West Country, leaves behind her partner Dane Knight and their five kids Delsie, 15, Preete, 13, Gracie 12, Nylie, 10 and Clarie, seven. Alice’s partner Dane posted online: “Want to say a heartfelt thank you..including [for] all of the kind messages sent to my children. Please, please have these five girls’ feelings at heart here.”

Alice is believed to be the first Brit to die from a liquid BBL

The mum was taken to hospital having become unwell following the procedure but sadly died. Detectives from Gloucestershire Police are investigating her death and has arrested two people. A force spokesperson stated: "Two people have been arrested on suspicion of manslaughter following the death of a woman in her 30s in Gloucester.

"Police had been called by the ambulance service at around 11.35pm on Monday (23 September) with a report a woman had become unwell following a suspected cosmetic procedure. She was taken to Gloucestershire Royal Hospital and died in the early hours of Tuesday morning. Her next of kin and the coroner are aware.

"The woman's family are being supported by specially trained officers. An investigation, led by the Major Crime Investigation Team, is ongoing. The two people who had been arrested have been released on police bail."

Unlike the surgical operation, liquid BBLs involve injecting hyaluronic acid and dermal fillers into the backside. BBLs - both surgical and non-surgical - carry the highest risk of all cosmetic surgeries - with more than one death occurring per 4,000 procedures.
