Bella Brave, a TikTok celebrity, died from a mix of uncommon health concerns.
Kyla, the 10-year-old social media personality’s mother, confirmed her daughter’s death on Instagram on July 15, a week after she was placed in a medically induced coma.
Kyla routinely shared videos of herself and her daughter doing everything from going to Disneyland to experimenting with makeup. According to Canadian radio station CJME, Bella was born with three rare medical conditions: dwarfism, Hirschsprung disease, and severe combined immunodeficiency.
Bella, born Isabella Thomson, experienced problems from a lung infection. Kyla stated that Bella was intubated in the ICU on July 9th before being placed in a coma. The next day, she informed her followers that their family had gotten dreadful news about Bella’s condition.
“The best of the best told us it looked bad. But I kept a lifted stare, intensely listening until I heard what hope there was left for us to hold on to,” she wrote. “Bella’s lungs have deteriorated rapidly, similar to fibrosis. They believe it may be an immune response.”
She went on to say, “They’ve seen this post-BMT, but they have no idea why it’s happening now and so fast. The only option left to help her lungs function again will be large doses of steroids. We’re on day two of those, and day three will tell us how soon we can expect her lung function to improve.
“Bella is currently in a medically induced coma. She’s stable, which is an improvement for the time being,” she said, adding that she and her husband were doing everything they could to comfort her throughout the ordeal.
“Lyle and I talk to her, I play music for her, and we read her all of the cards, letters, and messages you’ve sent. We are praying and believing that we have stopped the fibrosis attack on her lungs in enough time for her lungs to heal and function properly. “This wait is unbearable.”
Unfortunately, Bella succumbed to the complications, causing the heartbreak of her 7.3 million followers. On TikTok, Kyla shared clips of Bella dancing in a purple dress to “Never Enough” by Loren Allred from The Greatest Showman. She also shared a sweet post of her daughter on Instagram.
“Our brave girl left her legacy here on earth to dance on streets of gold,” Kyla wrote in an Instagram caption. “Bella passed peacefully in our arms. Please keep her name on your lips, her memories alive and her bravery in your hearts.”
She added: “Please share with us every detail of how she touched your life or kept you brave. Bella would want you to remember; that God is love, be brave and you are never too old to bring a stuffy.”
