Home and Away star Jessica Falkholt has had her life support switched off following the horrific car crash that claimed the lives of her parents and sister.

The 28-year-old's family reportedly made the decision on Thursday evening, just one day after the funeral of her father Lars, mother Vivian and sibling Annabelle.

Close friends had kept a bedside vigil as she remained in a coma at St George Hospital; where she had undergone multiple surgeries including having part of her skull and her kidney removed.

Lars, Vivian and Annabelle were farewelled by hundreds of family and friends at St Mary's Catholic Church at Concord in Sydney's west on Wednesday.

Craig Anthony Whitall, 50, was also killed in the crash.

Whitall was a known drug user and had previously been jailed for driving offenses.

An investigation is now underway to determine whether Whitall was under the influence of drugs at the time of the crash.
