Aubrey Plaza’s Instagram account is no longer active following the death of her husband, Jeff Baena.

The actress’ profile has been deactivated as of Sunday, with an error message reading, “Sorry, this page isn’t available.”

It’s unclear exactly when the “Parks and Recreation” alum deleted her account, but the decision came after the filmmaker’s death by suicide.

Last Monday, Plaza — along with Baena’s family — called his death an “unimaginable tragedy” in a statement obtained by Page Six.

“We are deeply grateful to everyone who has offered support. Please respect our privacy during this time,” they added.

Baena was pronounced dead on Jan. 3 after being found unresponsive by an assistant at his Los Angeles home. He was 47 years old.

Plaza and Baena secretly married in 2020 after dating for a decade.

The couple — who did not have any children — announced their marriage in May 2021.

Throughout their relationship, they worked on multiple projects together, including “Spin Me Round,” “Life After Beth” and “The Little Hours.”

Years before his death, Baena teamed up with Alison Brie to co-write the film “Horse Girl” about mental health struggles in their families.

“Alison and I both have had family members who have had mental illness, and it was a major influence on working on this,” he said on Reddit ahead of the movie’s 2020 release.

At the time, the director shared that his first stepmother had “manic depression and was in and out of facilities in Miami due to the baker act (5150 in California).”

During the forum, one fan asked whether the film was a “statement” about the current systems in place to help those with mental health struggles.

“While I would not consider ‘Horse Girl’ to be an activist film, the themes of how we as a society and individuals treat persons with mental illness was a major focus and impetus for making this,” Baena replied.
