TikTok creator Natasha Allen has tragically died at the age of 28 following a years-long fight with stage 4 synovial sarcoma, a rare and aggressive cancer.
The heartbreaking news was shared on Friday, August 22, through posts on her TikTok and Instagram pages, where Allen had built a combined following of more than 225,000 people.
Alongside a smiling photo of the late influencer, the statement honored her life and legacy.
‘Natasha was a beautiful soul full of love, kindness, and joy. She touched countless hearts and she was a big advocate for synovial sarcoma awareness,’ the announcement read. ‘Her spirit will continue to inspire all who had the privilege of knowing her.’

The update explained that any new donations will be used to help fund her funeral service, while money raised earlier will now go toward synovial sarcoma research.

The tribute concluded with a poignant quote attributed to Allen herself: ‘Find meaning in your own life, find what makes you happy, find how you can make the world around you better.’
Allen first revealed her diagnosis in 2020, when doctors discovered a malignant tumor in her knee.
Initially staged at level 3, she underwent chemotherapy, radiation, and tumor extractions before briefly entering remission. But only months later, scans revealed the cancer had returned and spread to her lungs.
By late 2021, she was told the illness had advanced to stage 4.
In a candid TikTok posted in April 2024, Allen detailed the numerous treatments and clinical trials she had endured in her fight, even as tumors continued to appear in other parts of her body.
‘Officially, I have a 15 percent 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 in the emotional video, which has since been viewed more than 2.7 million times.
Despite the devastating prognosis, Allen often shared messages of hope and determination with her followers.
‘A lot of people ask me how I stay so positive, how I don’t give up, and honestly, it’s hard a lot of the days, but being with family, being with friends,’ she explained. ‘Focusing on what matters really grounds you. Even though I have this rare cancer, I still want to live my life.’
