Watch: Influencer Ashley Surcombe in ICU After Being Found “Unconscious and Unresponsive” in South Korea

Ashley Surcombe's followers have her in their thoughts.

The British influencer—who goes by Ashley Marie on social media—is being treated at an ICU in South Korea after being found "unconscious and unresponsive" in her Seoul apartment March 24, her sister Kat Surcombe shared. The 29-year-old could spend weeks recovering in intensive care before being able to go home to her family.

"I apologise in advance if this photo upsets you, but my sister and my family need your help," Ashley's sister captioned a photo of her with her eyes closed in a hospital bed posted to Ashley's Instagram March 27. "I've created a Go Fund Me on behalf of my parents who have found themselves financially responsible for Ashley's medial fees and bringing her back home."

The 33-year-old added, "We as a family just don't have the means to cover the mounting costs."

While Kat didn't share details in the Instagram post about what happened to Ashley, she did open up about how she's handling the scary ordeal.

"I keep alternating between breaking down and trying to help my parents," Ashley's older sister said in an interview with The Times published March 27. "It’s heartbreaking because she’s my little sister, and I just want her back home."

The British outlet also reported that Ashley had been living in Seoul for about five years and had last spoken to her parents two days before being found unconscious, when "she mentioned feeling unwell and confused." They were also worried about her because she had a black eye from a fall "weeks earlier," The Times reported.

The Surcombe family also shed a bit more light on her Ashley's condition on their official GoFundMe page.

"She's currently in the ICU with severe dehydration and multiple organ damage," the page says. "We don't yet know the full extent of the damage, but we do know it's serious."

In an update shared to the GoFundMe page March 28, Kat wrote that Ashley was "improving and will spend the rest of the week in the ICU" and could be "moved to the general ward" by March 31 if her condition continues to improve.

If she is indeed able to get transferred out of the ICU, Ashley's dad Nigel Surcombe—who traveled to South Korea to be with his daughter as she recovers—will be able to "live in the hospital with her and be her 24/7 carer," Kat shared.

"Once again," she added, "a massive thank you from my family for the incredible outpouring of love and support."
