New Delhi: Popular TikTok star Bella Bradford made waves on the internet after announcing her death on the short-form video hosting platform. For those living under a rock, she was suffering from rhabdomyosarcoma – a form of jaw cancer. While she passed away on October 15, her last TikTok video was shared on October 31, marking it as her final tribute to her followers.
Bella Bradford, 24, pre-recoded a video that was supposedly posted after her demise due to cancer. The final clip included the last days of her life as she calmly stated in the video, “I have terminal cancer and unfortunately, by now, my life has come to an end, and I’ve passed away.”

For the unversed, Bella was diagnosed with jaw cancer back in 2021. Even though her first TikTok post dates back to March 2023, she revealed her illness to her followers just six months before her death. Mostly her videos included outfit checks, unboxings, and her regular health updates for fans. In one of her TikTok videos, Bella revealed that she underwent a year of treatment which included chemotherapy, radiotherapy and multiple surgeries to remove her tumour. Additionally, she went through vitro fertilisation and jaw reconstruction.
However, when she got a little break from her jaw cancer, Bella learnt that the cancer had returned just ten days before a planned trip to Europe with her friends.

The late TikTok star bid a final goodbye to her followers and concluded her video by saying, “Remember that you live every day and only die once, so everything helps.”
