“Mob Wives” star Natalie DiDonato is reported missing

Mob Wives' Natalie DiDonato is missing after missing two flights home, according to her family.

The 44-year-old reality TV star, who appeared on the fifth season of the VH1 series, has been the subject of a missing person case since Tuesday, January 21. TMZ was the first to report the news.

According to the outlet, Natalie's family contacted authorities when she was unable to catch two separate flights back to Florida, one of which was on January 5.

Las Vegas police confirmed to PEOPLE that a missing persons report has been filed for Natalie, but did not immediately provide further details.

Natalie's mother, Denise Fuoco, told TMZ that her last conversation with her daughter was on FaceTime a week ago. During her call, Natalie did not disclose her whereabouts and hurriedly hung up the phone while appearing nervous and distressed.

When Denise tried to contact her again by calling both of her daughter's cell phones, she received no response.

Denise added that her daughter has seemed “distant” over the last month and that she's worried she'll get “sick” and won't be able to sleep because she doesn't know where Natalie is.

She added that a friend of Natalie's, known only as “Ben,” said the Mob Wives alum recently contacted him on WhatsApp to ask for money for a plane ticket to Florida, but she never arrived.

In the television personality's latest social media post, she appeared to be in good spirits.

“Not bad for 44 🥰 I love me, I love me,” Natalie captioned a photo of herself smiling while out on the town in a matching black set and thigh-high boots.
