Alexa Valiente, an ABC News producer who won an Emmy last year for her network’s coverage of the Las Vegas mass shooting in 2017, died suddenly at age 27.

Valiente died Friday after facing health problems for several months, the network said in a story Monday announcing her death.

“Always a friendly face in the halls, she had an upbeat spirit, a curious and brilliant mind and a real passion to see the world,” ABC News chief James Goldston said. “She will be deeply missed.”

Valiente, who began her career as an intern, won an Emmy in 2018 for her work on the “20/20” story “Las Vegas: Heartbreak and Heroes.”
