Marina Joyce’s boyfriend Brandon Mehmed insists she’s ‘safe’ as police continue to look for her.
The YouTube star is thought to have been missing for nine days, with charity Missing People releasing an appeal, urging her to get in touch.
However, the 22-year-old’s boyfriend shared a message on his Instagram page, explaining everything is ‘being dealt with’.
‘This is a temporary post to send a message to everyone worried for Marina,’ he told his 4,604 followers.
‘Everything is being dealt with in a professional manner. Please don’t worry about her as she is safe and well (you have my word for that).
‘Also everyone who thinks I’m acting “suspicious” are only misinformed and don’t know me at alllll. Goodnight people.’
Alongside the post, Brandon, 19, added: ‘I was going to leave it but I think too many people want an explanation but this is as much as I can give.’
Met Police confirmed to Metro.co.uk that there has been no update in the case.
A missing poster for Marina was released by Missing People at 8pm on 9 August and claims she went missing from her home town of Haringey, London on 31 July.
Haringey’s local police force also tweeted an appeal: ‘Can you help to find Marina Joyce, 22, missing from #Haringey?
‘Last seen on 31Jul and reported missing to police on 7Aug. Call 101 and quote 19MIS031063 with any info.’
Fans leapt into action, with #FindMarinaJoyce quickly trending on Twitter.
A spokesperson for the Met Police told Metro.co.uk: ‘Marina Joyce, 22, was reported missing to police on Wednesday, 7 August. It was reported she was last seen on 31 July.
‘Enquiries are underway to try and locate her. Anyone with information is asked to call police in the North Area Command Unit on 101 and quote ref: 19MIS031063.’
The 22-year-old found fame for her YouTube beauty videos and posted her last video on 21 June 2019.
The caption claimed another video would be coming a week later but her page has yet to be updated.
