Isabella Thomson, known to her millions of followers as Bella Brave, peacefully departed this world on Sunday, July 14, 2024, at the age of 10. Her mother, Kyla Thomson, shared the heartbreaking news on social media the following day.

Her journey, documented by her parents Kyla and Lyle, garnered a devoted following of 397,000 on Instagram and 7.3 million on TikTok.

Earlier this month, Bella experienced complications from a lung infection, leading to a medically induced coma. This setback came after a successful bowel transplant last August, which her mother had hoped would be Bella’s last major medical hurdle.
Before her passing, Bella shared her vision of heaven with People magazine, describing it as “a big castle built of clouds” where God would be present. Her mother, Kyla, emphasized Bella’s fearlessness and the profound impact she had on others.
Following Bella’s passing, Kyla has requested that the public help keep her daughter’s memory alive. “Please, let the world know how Bella touched your lives, helped you, or continues to live on in your hearts and lives,” she said.

Kyla encourages people to continue sharing Bella’s love and light, to be brave, to draw closer to God, and to love fiercely in honor of her daughter’s legacy. As Shakespeare once wrote, “Though she be but little, she is fierce” – a fitting tribute to the brave young girl who inspired millions.
