A 19-year old TikTok star and influencer has past away from an aggressive brain cancer.

'It is with great sadness to announce that our beautiful daughter, Anna Grace Phelan, went home to be with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ,' read a message posted to her social media accounts.

'So many of you have followed her journey through a difficult battle with cancer and bore witness to her powerful testimony of faith,' the statement continued. 

'Thank you for the countless thousands of prayers for healing and peace. May we all rejoice with the assurance that she is in Heaven now, and she has been healed.'

Phelan first revealed she was battling brain cancer in September, when she told her followers about the symptoms that led to her diagnosis—numbness in the left side of her face and the right side of her leg, along with balance issues and vision problems.

'I started losing my balance,' she said in one video. 'I started having vision problems in my left eye, my numbness in my face and on my leg is still here. My speech started to seem weird. My head's very foggy.'

An MRI revealed a lesion on her brain, and after undergoing a biopsy, Phelan was diagnosed with glioblastoma, an aggressive and incurable form of brain cancer.

'This is definitely the hardest news I've ever received,' she shared in a TikTok posted in September. 'By all means, this is not easy. Just going to trust in the Lord and try and keep pushing forward.'

Best wishes to her family and friends during this difficult moment.
