A teenage girl who got a heart transplant thanks to a fund-raising campaign by singer/actress Brandy has died less than four months after surgery.
Jessica Harris, 17, who lived in the same town of McComb, Mississippi, where Brandy was raised, died at a New York hospital on Thursday, Brandy said.
The star of reality TV shows “Dancing With the Stars” and “Brandy and Ray J: A Family Business” met Harris last year and with her family began a campaign to raise funds for surgery to correct her congenital heart defect.
Harris received the transplant in late February.
