Bella Bradford reflected on the fragility of life in her final message.
The TikToker, who previously opened up about being diagnosed with a rare form of cancer in her jaw muscle, announced her own passing in a heartbreaking video posted to her channel Oct. 31.
According to the note shared alongside the post, she died on Oct. 15 while surrounded by loved ones. She was 24.
“I have terminal cancer and unfortunately, by now, my life has come to an end, and I’ve passed away,” Bradford shared in her video. “But I wanted to do one final Get Ready With Me because I love doing these, and I love fashion. Thank you for following me on this fun journey, and yeah, I hope you will back on all my videos and find a little bit of joy in your day if you ever needed to feel.”
She also went on to share a heart-rending message to her followers about treasuring every moment.
“Remember that you live every day and only die once,” Bradford added, “so everything helps.”
In her TikTok, Bradford went on to showcase her outfit for the day, which included a strapless dress, ballet flats and cardigan, explaining that her aunt and uncle—who she was staying with in Sydney—helped put her video together.
