Woman who went missing while on vacation seemingly addresses father's death during search for her six months later

Warning: This article contains discussion of suicide which some readers may find distressing.

The search for Hannah Kobayashi saw her father take his own life, and since returning to social media, she's spoken out about her 'loss'.

On November 8, 30-year-old Hannah Kobayashi didn't show up to her connected flight from Los Angeles to New York.

When her family later received texts claiming someone was trying to steal her identity, they grew concerned and reported her missing.

A search started for the aspiring photographer with Kobayashi's father Ryan Kobayashi flying from Maui, Hawaii to LA. He later passed away in what is believed to be a suicide.

Shortly after, Hannah was later found safe, the LAPD calling her disappearance 'voluntary' after she was spotted crossing the border into Mexico on foot.

And she has since spoken out in a now-deleted upload to Instagram, seemingly addressing her father's passing.

How did Hannah Kobayashi's dad die?

Ryan traveled to Los Angeles to join search efforts to find his daughter, explaining to CNN the pair hadn't 'had contact for a while' but he was 'just trying to make up' for it and 'get her back'.

However, in late November, the LAPD confirmed to CNN his body was found on West Century Boulevard.

Hannah's aunt, Larie Pidgeon, told the Mail Online Ryan 'died of a broken heart', explaining he'd been 'searching for 11 days' and was running on 'very minimal sleep' only getting about '30 minutes sleep-a-night'.

She continued: "We believe as the days continued to pass it became too much for him to bear and he took his own life. None of us saw it coming."

The RAD Movement confirmed Ryan 'tragically took his own life', with an LA County medical examiner also ruling his death as a result of suicide, People reports.

Hannah Kobayashi's Instagram post

Hannah has now seemingly addressed her father's passing, sharing since-deleted videos to Instagram, as reportedly seen and quoted by the Mail Online.

In the video, it's reported Hannah opened up about life being 'such a precious gift... especially after such loss and pain and suffering'.

"We should all learn to be kind to one another and cherish every single moment that we can because we are all connected," she added.

Another video allegedly saw Hannah also thank those who've been supporting her 'from the bottom of [her] heart'.

The videos follow Hannah's return to Instagram with a trio of nearly monochromatic images.
