Bella Bradford
Australian TikTok star Bella Bradford, whose real name was Isabella Bradford, tragically passed away at the age of 24 after a courageous battle with a rare form of cancer.
Bella, known for her engaging content and positive energy, had been diagnosed with rhabdomyosarcoma, a rare cancer affecting her jaw, in 2021 when she was just 22.
Throughout her journey, she openly shared her experiences with her followers, creating a strong bond with her TikTok community.
Bella’s last “Get Ready With Me” video, recorded weeks before her death on October 15, became a poignant farewell to her fans.
In her final TikTok post, which was shared posthumously on October 31, Bella left behind an emotional message of hope and positivity.

Her final post was a heartfelt thank you to the millions who had followed her journey. “Thank you guys so much for this wild and wonderful ride. I hope you all have beautiful, amazing lives,” Bella said in her final message. Her words resonated with her audience, who had supported her through her ups and downs.
Bella passed away peacefully, surrounded by her loved ones, according to the message accompanying her final post.
Her family requested that in lieu of flowers, those wishing to honor Bella’s memory donate to cancer charities such as Chris O’Brien Lifehouse, Rare Cancers Australia, Cancer Chicks, or Head and Neck Cancer Australia.
These organizations were close to Bella’s heart, as they provided support to those battling rare cancers like hers.
Bella’s journey had been filled with intense treatments, including chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and several surgeries.
After entering remission at one point, the cancer returned, but Bella remained as resilient and positive as ever, continuing to share her story with her followers.
Her death notice emphasized her strength, stating, “She faced her cancer with the same resilience and positivity she brought to all aspects of her life.”
Bella Bradford’s passing has left a significant impact on her community and fans worldwide.
