The 13-year-old girl who took YouTube by storm with her motivational make-up videos, has tragically passed away after a six-year battle with cancer.
Talia Joy Castellano tragically lost her battle against cancer this week
Talia, who was known for her status as a beauty guru, shared helpful make-up and skincare tips and documented her ongoing fight against two forms of aggressive cancer, neuroblastoma and preleukemia.
After being in hospital for the last six months, this week Talia lost her battle against the disease. Her family broke the news with an official announcement on her Facebook page.
Talia’s inspiring videos and “Cancer Vlogs” touched millions of fans with her uplifting stories and unwavering spirit during her continuous bouts of chemotherapy and radiation therapy, attracting over 40 million views.
“YouTube, and all the support that I get from everyone telling me that I'm inspiring and not to give up, it really makes you stop and think about how many people there are that love you... You're not there alone," Talia said.
The young star’s infectious spirit attracted the attention of numerous celebrities, including Ellen Degeneres. Last September Talia shot to worldwide fame when she appeared on the Ellen show, during which Degeneres made her an honorary Covergirl.
