A Social media star famous for posting about his love of eating and mocking his own obesity has died aged just 28.

Israeli online sensation Idan Ohayon tragically passed away last night and tributes have already begun to pour in from his adoring fans.

His latest Instagram posts were flooded with comments from many of his 45,000 followers who could not believe the terrible news.

With his large Instagram following as well as 115,000 fans on TikTok and thousands on YouTube, he was one of the more well-known influencers in his native Israel.

He often made videos of himself eating and was not afraid to laugh at his own weight.

The star had only recently been cast in a documentary-reality show called ‘The Creatoks’ in which he and other influencers competed for the title of Israel’s best content creator.

He died at Barzilai Medical Center in Ashkelon.

His family confirmed that the cause of death was a medical condition and that his funeral would be held today at a cemetery in Kiryat Gat.
