Alaina Housley, the 18-year-old niece of Tamera Mowry-Housley and Adam
Housley, is sadly among the victims of the mass shooting in Southern
California.
"Our hearts are broken. We just learned that our niece, Alaina, was one
of the victims of last night’s shooting at Borderline bar in Thousand
Oaks," the couple said in a statement released by their rep. " Alaina
was an incredible young woman with so much life ahead of her and we are
devastated that her life was cut short in this manner. We thank
everyone for your prayers and ask for privacy at this time."
Tia Mowry expressed her sadness at the loss on Twitter, writing, "Our
sweet Alaina Housley is gone. We love you. We are devastated."

Mowry's co-hosts at The Real also issued a statement, offering
condolences to the Housley family and the other victims of the tragedy.
"The Real is heartbroken for the victims of the senseless tragedy in
Thousand Oaks, which included Alaina Housley, the niece of Tamera and
Adam Housley," the statement reads. "We send prayers and strength to all
the victims’ families and their community as well as our gratitude to
the first responders. We send all our love and our deepest condolences

A Los Angeles Times reporter, Andrea Castillo, shared on Twitter that
she saw Housley visit the Los Robles Regional Medical Center looking for
his niece.
"A guard didn’t let him through, saying it was on lockdown. He said
Alaina, a Pepperdine freshman, was at the bar with several friends. Her
Apple Watch and iPhone still showed her location on the dance floor,"
Castillo wrote.

Housley told the L.A. Times earlier today that he feared the worst.
"My gut is saying she’s inside the bar, dead,” he said. “I’m hoping I’m wrong."
Twelve people, including a sheriff's sergeant, were killed in a shooting
in a crowded bar in Thousand Oaks, California, late Wednesday night.
