Below Deck Sailing Yacht: Daisy Kelliher Details Recent Serious Accident Her Sister Bonnie Was In & Toll It's Taken (2024)

Daisy Kelliher's sister Bonnie Kelliher was in a serious accident in Thailand, and the Below Deck Sailing Yacht star is sharing details about what happened and how she and her family have been reacting. Daisy is one of the primary faces of Below Deck Sailing Yacht, having been the Chief Stew in seasons 2-4 and rumored continued Cheif Stew in the upcoming fifth season. Bonnie was featured in Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 4, as she came to visit her sister and hang with the crew.

Daisy took to Instagram the last few days to let Below Deck fans and friends know what happened. "2.5 weeks ago my sister had an accident in Thailand," she began before stating everything medical that Bonnie had to go through as a result.

"She has had several surgeries including her chest, face and brain and two emergency surgeries one when it happened and one over the weekend and a 12 hour surgery last week."

Daisy said Bonnie was discharged from the ICU over the weekend, but will stay in the hospital in a "normal" room for two weeks or possibly longer.

Daisy Gets Support From Captain Glenn Shephard & Others

Daisy, Her Family, & Below Deck Community Are There For Bonnie

After her initial post, Daisy went into more detail about what happened to Bonnie. Daisy said she was in Thailand with her sister and that she was posting on Instagram with her family's permission.

Bonnie said her sister was helped by a friend who realized Bonnie didn't come home and found her in the hospital. Daisy's first message to her followers was to look after their friends, and she made a second plea as well.

"Please don’t get on the moped and if you do wear a helmet and have insurance (no helmet, no insurance)," Daisy urged.

Daisy also detailed that Bonnie was in a fantastic hospital and being looked after well. Both of Daisy's Instagram posts were met with overwhelming support and concern from the Below Deck community and her fellow cast mates. Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 2 Stewardess Alli Dore wrote, "Omg im so sorry! Please send Bonnie my love."

BDSY Captain, Glenn Shephard commented on Daisy's second post. "Scooters and motorcycles scare the s**t out of me, it’s usually someone else’s fault but with zero protection, it often doesn’t end well," he said after talking about a close friend who had passed away in a motorbike accident. Having been featured on Below Deck Sailing Yacht, Bonnie is now part of the Below Deck family, and Daisy's spreading of awareness sends a distinct message of warning to others. Daisy will likely update fans on Bonnie's progress.
