SAD: 13 YEARS OLD COVER GIRL TALIA AFTER A 6 YEAR STRUGGLE, FINALLY DIES OF CANCER

 Talia Joy Castellano, who charmed America with her YouTube make-up tutorials and became an honorary face of CoverGirl, has died aged 13 following a six year battle with cancer.



A message posted on the Florida teen's Facebook page today read: 'It is with a heavy heart that we share with all of you that Talia has earned her wings at 11:22am. Please lift her beautiful soul, her beautiful light to heaven.'


Since the news broke dozens of fans have taken to Twitter to offer their condolences including Ellen DeGeneres, Miley Cyrus, Kendall Jenner and Justin Bieber.

Talia was first diagnosed with stage four neuroblastoma cancer, a tumor that develops from nerve tissue in infants and children, on Valentine's Day in 2007 when she was just seven years old.

Following chemotherapy, surgery and radiation she was cancer-free for one year but in September 2008 doctors found the disease had spread to a small lymph node near her heart.

For the next four years she received various treatments, but after periods of remission the cancer kept on returning to other parts of her body.

Last year, on one of her famous YouTube video, she revealed that she had neuroblastoma and leukemia at the same time.
Doctors suggested a bone marrow transplant as a possible remedy but Talia decided forgo another painful surgery and enjoy her remaining days.
Talk show star, Ellen DeGeneres, previously cited the youngster as an inspiration.

'Having a YouTube channel, inspiring people. . . the journey of having cancer was amazing. But every journey has an end'




May God rest her soul!!!
