Bella Brave has died. The TikTok star, whose real name is Bella Thomson, died on July 14, her mom, Kyla Thomson, revealed on social media. She was 10.
Kyla shared the tragic news alongside a video of Bella dancing, which she set to Loren Allred's 2017 song, "Never Enough."
"Our brave girl left her legacy here on earth to dance on streets of gold July 14th 2024 at 4:19 p.m. ET," Kyla captioned the clip. "Bella passed peacefully in our arms."
"Please keep her name on your lips, her memories alive and her bravery in your hearts. Please share with us every detail of how she touched your life or kept you brave," she continued. "Bella would want you to remember; God is love, be brave and you are never too old to bring a stuffy."
Bella amassed millions of followers on TikTok by documenting her struggles with immunodeficiencies and Hirschsprung’s disease, a congenital condition that causes intestinal and bowel issues, according to the Cleveland Clinic.
Throughout her internet stardom, Bella counted Ryan Reynolds as a fan. The actor even had a sweet interaction with Bella back in December, which was documented in a viral video that was viewed more than 25 million times.
Her death came less than a week after Kyla revealed that Bella was battling a lung infection, which prompted her to be intubated and placed in a medically induced coma.
"She is sedated, intubated, in a medically induced coma, and I am not losing my hope," Kyla shared in a tearful update one day before Bella's death. "I don't know which way things are gonna go. We still need your prayer and all the love... For now, she is still with us and she is still fighting."
Prior to her death, Bella told People her vision of Heaven.
"Heaven has a lot of clouds, a big castle built of clouds," she said at the time. "God would be there."
Now, Kyla told the outlet of her daughter, "She was fearless. What ever she faced I never saw fear in her. She taught me bravery."
