Silva has been booked on suspicion of murder in La Barrie’s death. Silva was reportedly drinking before the crash, which occurred while he was driving the car at a high rate of speed. A police statement characterized the crash as a DUI fatal traffic collision.

Silva “attempted to leave the scene but was stopped by citizens who came to render aid," police said.

Silva — who appeared on Season 10 of "Ink Master," a Paramount Network reality TV competition for tattoo artists — is being held on $2 million bail, the Los Angeles Police Department said.

Jarrad La Barrie, Corey La Barrie's brother, confirmed his death on Instagram.

"This is the hardest thing I've ever had to do, I don't how I'm suppose to do this without you," Jarrad La Barrie wrote. "I miss you so much already, this isn't fair."

Corey La Barrie had more than 330,000 subscribers on YouTube and 200,000 followers on Instagram, People reported. Earlier Sunday, he had been celebrating his birthday online "while listening to 2 Chainz "Birthday Song" and drinking champagne," according to the magazine.
