Leah Smith, a rising TikTok star, has reportedly passed away at the age of 22 after a long battle with her health.
According to the daily mail, Smith, who is from Liverpool, had been battling Ewing’s sarcoma, which is a cancer that affects soft tissue and bones. Her family revealed that she died Monday morning.
Her boyfriend, Andrew, also shared details about her passing in an emotional video. “I just want to thank everyone,” Andrew shared. “All your comments helped. In fact, he read them all. And anyone who has ever said something nice means more than you think.”

Andrew later said that he and his family will miss Leah. They will also make sure to never forget it. “I want to see everyone talking about Leah and how amazing she is and how much she helped everyone. “We will never let Leah be forgotten.”
Her mother and best friend, Vikki, said she had been moved to a care facility at the end of her life. Her passing was “so peaceful.”
“[Leah] “She looks as beautiful as ever and we are grateful to be at her bedside,” they shared. “And she holds her hand to comfort her while you do it. “Andrew has not abandoned her, he has been a real rock for her throughout this entire journey.”
Leah Smith told her followers last month that her doctors wanted to stop the treatment because it was no longer working.
Leah Smith’s death comes just weeks after she revealed in a TikTok video that she was “very afraid” to stop treatment. This was after her doctors told her that the treatment was no longer working.
“All painkillers don’t work,” Leah said at the time. “So they really want to get me to as comfortable a state as possible.”
“I don’t know what this means for me, if it’s the end of the journey. But my whole family has noticed and I’m going to act like I’m good and cool because, frankly, I’m really scared. I don’t want to die yet. I’m sorry.”
Leah Smith previously spoke about her cancer diagnosis with the Liverpool Echo in 2020. “I had really bad back pain for 10 months. “It was constant, then I lost all feeling in my left leg and I knew something was definitely wrong.”
“I wanted to start a TikTok to express my journey and show people my life living with cancer – its ups and downs. The people love it”.
