Bella was diagnosed with a rare type of cancer that developed in her jaw muscle when she was 22 years old.
In her video posted in May, she shared that she underwent radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and surgeries to remove her tumor and reconstruct her jaw. She was in remission for five months, but 10 days before she was supposed to go on a Europe trip with her friends, she learned that the cancer was back in the same spot, but it had grown "majorly.”
She then became a palliative patient, as the disease eventually became incurable through chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
Bella was known for her content about fashion, beauty, and lifestyle. Her TikTok account has garnered more than 16,000 followers as of writing.
