“Natasha was a beautiful soul full of love, kindness, and joy. She touched countless hearts and was a strong advocate for synovial sarcoma awareness,” the statement read.“Her spirit will continue to inspire all who had the privilege of knowing her.”

A quote attributed to Allen was included in the announcement:“Find meaning in your own life, find what makes you happy, find how you can make the world around you better.”

Allen was first diagnosed in 2020 after doctors discovered a malignant tumour in her knee, which was initially considered stage 3. She underwent chemotherapy, radiation, and surgeries, and briefly went into remission. But by late 2021, scans revealed the cancer had returned and spread to her lungs, advancing to stage 4.

In a TikTok video posted in April this year, which has been viewed more than 2.7 million times, Allen spoke candidly about her prognosis.“Officially, I have a 15 per cent chance of being alive for five years after being diagnosed with stage 4. Me, however, I'm gonna be different. I'm putting that out in the universe,” she said.

Despite the challenges, Allen often shared messages of resilience and gratitude.“A lot of people ask me how I stay so positive, how I don't give up... it's hard a lot of the days,” she admitted in the same video.“But being with family, being with friends, focusing on what matters - that really grounds you. Even though I have this rare cancer, I still want to live my life.”

Her openness and positivity earned her a devoted online following, with many fans remembering her not just as a creator but as a source of strength and hope.
