The digital community woke up in shock on June 15, 2026 after the death of Argentine YouTuber Gaspar "Gaspi" Prim Díaz (23 years old) was confirmed in a helicopter collision in Rio de Janeiro. Among the most emotional reactions, Juli Savioli, who was in a relationship with the influencer in 2022, posted a heartbreaking message on her Instagram account.
The content creator, known in the digital entertainment world, initially reacted with disbelief: "Please, I'm getting a lot of messages. They even mentioned Crónica (an Argentine news outlet). I just found out. Please, does anyone know if this is real? Is it confirmed?", she wrote in her stories with visible tears.
Hours after official confirmation, Savioli managed to express an intimate and painful goodbye:
"I have no words, I can't find them. It's hard for me to think this is real. I have pain, pressure, and emptiness in my chest. I only know I hold you in my heart. I don't think I can ever process this. I appreciate you and hug you with my soul, wherever you are. I will transform you into my motivation. I thank you for life."
The message reflects the deep connection she maintained with Gaspi despite having ended their romantic relationship long ago, demonstrating that emotional bonds in the digital content world transcend personal relationships.
Gaspar "Gaspi" Prim Díaz was one of Argentina's most popular content creators, known for his charismatic personality and his signature greeting "Buenas" (a casual Argentine way of saying hello). He started his YouTube career at age 17 and quickly rose to fame with humor videos, viral challenges, and lifestyle content.
A mid-air collision between two helicopters in the Recreio dos Bandeirantes neighborhood of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
The air accident occurred on June 14, 2026 at 8:59 AM local time in the Recreio dos Bandeirantes neighborhood in western Rio de Janeiro. According to security camera footage released by Brazilian media outlet Metrópoles, one helicopter struck the other from behind, causing both aircraft to immediately fall.
The six fatal victims were identified as:
| Name | Nationality | Occupation |
|---|---|---|
| Gaspar "Gaspi" Prim Díaz | Argentine | YouTuber (23 years old) |
| Lucas Vignale | Argentine | Director/filmmaker (28 years old) |
| Oliver Tree | American | Musician (2.3 million followers) |
| Lucas Brito Chaves | Brazilian | Music producer |
| Alexandre Souza | Brazilian | Pilot of helicopter PP-MAC |
| Charles Marsillac | Brazilian | Pilot of helicopter PR-DJJ |
The helicopter with registration PP-MAC (Bell 206B) had been fined in July 2025 by Brazil's National Civil Aviation Agency (ANAC) for lack of documentation. ANAC announced it would investigate whether the aircraft were conducting illegal passenger air transport.
Gaspar Prim Díaz began his career at age 17 on YouTube, where he stood out for his charisma and the characteristic greeting "Buenas." His content ranged from humor to viral challenges, accumulating millions of views. In 2022, he was recognized as "YouTuber of the Year" at the Coscu Army Awards.
His last public project was his participation in "La Velada del Año V", the boxing event organized by Spanish streamer Ibai Llanos in Spain, where he fought against Spanish streamer Perxitaa. Although he lost by technical knockout in the first round, the experience allowed him to expand his international audience.
Lucas Vignale, a 28-year-old Argentine director, worked alongside Gaspi in content production. His career included collaborations with artists like Bizarrap (famous Argentine producer), Duki, Wos, and Nicki Nicole. In 2026, he premiered his first feature film "El Tren Fluvial" (The River Train), acclaimed at the Berlin Film Festival.
The Argentine TV program Blender (a popular entertainment show featuring hosts Juan Ruffo, Manu Jove, and Fio Sargenti) announced a special tribute for Monday, June 15 at 9 PM. Two episodes of "Gaspi visita tu hogar" (Gaspi visits your home) will be broadcast along with an unreleased chapter from the four planned episodes.
