RUMOR CONTROL: Reports of Former Home and Away Star Kirsty Marillier’s Death Dismissed as False

Reports circulating online alleging the death by suicide of actress and playwright Kirsty Marillier have been widely dismissed and are not true.

Kirsty Marillier, who was known to television audiences for her role as police officer Rose Delaney on the long-running Australian soap opera Home and Away (2022-2025), is alive and actively engaged in her professional career.

The actress’s departure from Home and Away earlier this year was part of a planned storyline where her character, Rose Delaney, left the fictional town of Summer Bay to pursue a job promotion as a detective in the city.

Marillier, who is also an award-winning playwright, has a new play titled DESTINY scheduled to premiere at the Melbourne Theatre Company in 2025. Her ongoing professional engagements contradict the unverified rumors regarding her death.

The public is urged to disregard unverified online posts regarding the actress’s well-being. Kirsty Marillier remains an active and celebrated figure in the Australian arts community.
