Chanel Banks is one of the most popular actresses of the recent times who has featured in famous series like Gossip Girl and Blue Bloods.
Unfortunately, Banks has gone missing without a hint and her family is shedding sweat looking for her everywhere they can.
Key Takeaways
- Chanel Banks is a 36-year-old actress who vanished from her home and has been missing since.
- Banks did not leave a hint as to where she went.
- Her family is actively looking for her. Bank’s cousin has also set up a GoFundMe page to find adequate financial aid for the search.
Chanel Banks had been having a decent life, and no one would assume that she was going through something or had a plan to disappear until she did in October.
Her family had distributed the flyers of her disappearance since at least October 30, 2024.
It has been almost a month since she went missing, and to this date, their search has been to no avail.
Banks’ parents shared that she had been living in Los Angeles for a decade since she shifted in order to become an actress. She was, no doubt, a brilliant actress and was able to work on various prominent projects over the years.
In an interview, her cousin Danielle from Toronto shared that her plan was to look for Chanel as soon as she made her trip to California.
She said,
Apparently, Chanel’s phone was dead when the first search attempt started. However, her dog and her car were still at her Playa Vista apartment along Jefferson Boulevard.

The Los Angeles Police Department has been giving its best shot at finding the aspiring actress. They have been in high spirits and are making sure that they won’t put the missing woman’s family in distress during the messy time.
Her cousin further added,
What has come off both as shocking is Bank’s husband’s silence. Despite requests to speak up, he has not yet commented on the situation.
After having known about her daughter’s disappearance, Chanel’s mother, Judy Singh, flew to LA from their house in New York.
She said,
Support Through GoFundMe
As of now, Chanel’s cousin Danielle has set up a GoFundMe page seeking financial help in the search for the missing actress.
There have been many who have put forth a decent amount of money in the fundraiser till now.
In the GoFundMe post that she had posted, Danielle emphasized on the fact that her husband may know the truth but is staying quiet.
The family is only coming up with the worse possible scenarios while hoping for the best.
In addition to this, the distressed cousin also mentioned that her husband had injuries on his face and told Chanel’s family that “she does not want to be found“.
These statements have rather come off as fishy for the family as well as everyone who has come to know about Bank’s case.
