According to friends and colleagues, Estrella had recently begun taking lessons to become a pilot. On September 20, 2025, she boarded a small Cessna aircraft in the municipality of García, Nuevo León, alongside pilot and instructor Bryan Ballesteros.

Tragically, the two-seater plane went down near an industrial area shortly after takeoff. Within minutes, Civil Protection confirmed two fatalities — 43-year-old Estrella and Bryan Ballesteros.
