TikTok influencer Emilie Kiser has publicly spoken out for the first time since the drowning death of her 3-year-old son, Trigg, in the family’s backyard pool in Chandler, Arizona, on May 12, 2025.

In her statement, Kiser expressed profound grief and took full accountability for the tragedy.

She acknowledged that a permanent pool fence could have prevented the accident, saying, "One of the hardest lessons I carry is that a permanent pool fence could have saved his life, and it is something I will never overlook again."

She also emphasized the importance of privacy, noting plans to establish stricter boundaries for her family online to protect her children.

This statement comes after Kiser filed a lawsuit earlier this year to prevent the release of graphic details and images related to her son’s death, a request that a judge partially granted.

Her message has been met with support from followers and the public as she continues to navigate this heartbreaking loss.

Through her statement, Kiser also hopes to raise awareness about pool safety and the importance of preventive measures for families.
