TikTok star Bella Bradford, 24, announces her own death in pre-recorded video post

Australian TikTok star Bella Bradford announced her death in a pre-recorded video message that was posted on social media after she died.
The 24-year-old’s last ‘Get Ready with Me’ video was posted on her TikTok account on October 31 after her battle with a rare form of cancer called rhabdomyosarcoma. The video’s caption revealed she had died on October 15, several days before the post, The Independent reports.
The caption said that Bradford “passed away peacefully surrounded by the people she loves the most”. In the eleven-minute video, she spoke of her journey on TikTok and expressed gratitude for the love and support she received from her fans and followers on social media.
“I have terminal cancer and unfortunately, by now, my life has come to an end, and I’ve passed away. 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. I hope you will look back on all my videos and find a little bit of joy in your day if you ever need to feel it,” Bradford said in the video, as per the report published by The Independent.
Expressing gratitude to her online community for the “wild and wonderful ride”, Bradford wrote in the caption: “Thank you for all your love and support throughout my final stages of life, I am so grateful. Filming these videos truly brought me a sense of purpose in my final few months and also connected me with a very kind community of people. I wish you all a beautiful life and please remember to live each day with as much significance as the next. What a privilege it is to grow old.”
Bradford discussed her diagnosis and described her experience as a “palliative cancer patient” in a video that she had posted in May.
Explaining that she was “diagnosed with a really rare form of cancer in (her) jaw muscle” at the age of 22, Bradford had stated that her condition was “incurable”.
After five months in remission, Bella Bradford was diagnosed with cancer once again. However, at the time of filming her video, she had mentioned she was undergoing various forms of treatment.
