‘Euphoria’ Star Alanna Ubach Claims Lyft Driver Stole Cash-Stuffed Package
“Euphoria” star Alanna Ubach says a Lyft driver told her he would deliver a package for her, and she took him at his word … but he never showed up at the destination — and she tells us she had over $1,000 cash inside.
Alanna tells TMZ … this week, a Lyft driver in Hollywood promised her the ride-share app handles package delivery, so she sent him off with a parcel containing a bunch of money wrapped up in paper towels and tape … but after that, she says, he ghosted her.

The actress says on the app, it looked like the driver got near the final destination, and then turned his phone off … and the person expecting the package waited outside for 45 minutes after the scheduled drop-off, to no avail.
Alanna says she called Lyft to complain, and was told they don’t deliver packages. She says that means the driver was lying … but she says Lyft told her they contacted him and he denied any knowledge or involvement.
The reason Alanna was sending so much cash … her sister died in November, whose bills are piling up, and she’s had some issues with paying past dues with a check.
She’s filed a police report for grand theft … and LAPD confirms to TMZ they are investigating.
We reached out to Lyft … so far no word back.
