She also revealed the cause of Erica’s demise as she said, “After a long and courageous battle with cancer, she transitioned peacefully surrounded by her loved ones.”
After news of her passing broke, Hollywood mourned the loss of Erica Ash. Friends, colleagues, and fans alike sent their condolences and prayers to her grieving family on social media.
Amidst this tragedy, some were curious if Erica Ash had a husband or kids who would carry on the legacy of a talented, witty, and genuine entertainer.
In the statement, Erica Ash’s mother, Dianna Ash, did not mention her as wife or mother!
American actress Erica Chantal Ash was one of the many Hollywood celebrities who preferred to keep their personal tabs under wraps even when they climbed the ladder to fame.
So, there’s virtually nothing about her dating and relationship timeline on the internet. Additionally, none of the news outlets have ever reported anything about Erica Ash having a boyfriend or marriage.
Having that said, some online websites allegedly claim that Jacob Fishel was the husband of Erica Ash. They apparently met each other at the California Institute of the Arts and dated for years before tying the knot in 2016, but they divorced a year later.

However, there’s no evidence or media coverage about the two tying the knot whatsoever. Apart from that, there are no hints of romantic coverage or link-ups of Erica Ash to any other person.
Now, in the statement released by Dianna Ash, mother of Erica Ash, she did not refer to Erica as a wife or a mother. Dianna only mentioned Erica as “daughter, sister, and friend.”
So from that, we can speculate that Erica Ash did not walk down the aisle to her husband or have any children.
Moreover, the New York Times also used the honorific ‘Ms.’ for Erica Ash in the latest news coverage, suggesting her unofficial marital status at the time of her demise.
May Erica Ash’s gentle soul rest in peace. We at Sanctuary Film Festival extend our heartfelt condolences to her family.
