Noongar and Yamatji woman Halle Cameron-Phillips, a 23-year-old multi-sport athlete from Western Australia's South West, has tragically died following a late-night car accident at the weekend.
Her family said Ms Cameron-Phillips was "full of life" and had a deep love of sport.
"Halle was full of life, a rare soul, full of strength, and determination," her aunt, Natasha Phillips, said.
"She had a deep love for sport and proudly played AFLW in Busselton and was looking forward to playing ladies AFLW for Swan Districts Football Club."
Ms Phillips said Ms Cameron-Phillips had been driving with her uncle when the crash happened.
"On that tragic night, Halle was simply driving with her uncle beside her, going about their evening, when their lives were forever changed," she said.
"In a moment no family should ever have to endure, her vehicle was struck by another vehicle."
Ms Phillips said Ms Cameron-Phillips was known for her work ethic and commitment.
"Since leaving high school, she worked tirelessly, always giving her best and never shying away from hard work," she said.
"That was just who she was - committed, driven and kind-hearted."
Ms Phillips said Ms Cameron-Phillips was close to her family and often helped others.
"Halle was deeply family-oriented, the kind of person who would drop everything to help anyone, anytime, without hesitation," she said.
"Her love, generosity, and bright spirit touched so many lives, and her absence leaves a silence that can never truly be filled."
Sporting organisations across the region have also paid tribute to Ms Cameron-Phillips.
The Busselton Netball Association acknowledged her contribution after her time with the Geographe Bay Dodgers Netball Club.
"She will be remembered for her talent, determination and the positive impact she had on those around her," a spokesperson said.
Eaton Football Club said Ms Cameron-Phillips had been a valued part of its women's program.
"Halle was our 2023 Women's Runner-up Fairest and Best and a fantastic person to have around the club," a spokesperson said.
"Our thoughts and sincere condolences go out to Halle's family and friends on your loss."
Ms Phillips said her parents and siblings were struggling to process the death.
"The pain of losing Halle is indescribable," she said.
"The silence she has left behind is overwhelming.
"Her laughter, her strength, her kindness - all gone far too soon."
Police have launched investigations into a fatal two car crash in Geographe, a suburb of Busselton, which occurred around 11:10pm on Saturday night.
Male passengers from both vehicles were sent to Busselton Hospital, one male driver who suffered serious injuries later airlifted to Royal Perth Hospital, police said in a statement.
A 23-year-old female driver died at the scene.
An online fundraiser has been launched to support Ms Cameron-Phillips' parents, Rhett Cameron-Phillips and Jemma Cameron-Phillips, and her siblings Kaya, Rhett jnr and Leila, as they prepare for her funeral.
