Jaida Benjamin, who plays Kelly in Netflix's Family Reunion, has reportedly gone missing.

The actress was last seen on February 19, 2022 at Tujunga Avenue and Ventura Boulevard in the Los Angeles region, according to the LAPD. She was last spotted with locks in her hair and wearing a purple crop top, pink jogging shorts, and white sneakers.

Since she was last seen, her family has been unable to contact her, and the LAPD believes there is no foul play at this point.

In an Instagram post, her mother, Jocinda Benjamin, appealed for aid from the public:

"Never thought I’d ever have to make this type of post. My baby is missing. Please help me find her. I can’t breathe."

Her uncle Jihan Johnston, co-founder of Beat Botics, updated the flyer about Benjamin's disappearance on Twitter.
