Sad news today as we say goodbye to the beautiful Talia Castellano who has passed away after a brave cancer battle.

The 13-year-old captivated hearts all over the world through her beauty tutorials on her Youtube page and becoming a CoverGirl model. Remember her on Ellen? SOOO cute! No matter the struggle Talia faced, she turned it into a positive and showed the world her strength. Cancer didn't define her, she defined herself.

On her Facebook a post read, "Please lift her beautiful soul, her beautiful light to heaven and please send your love and prayers to her family during this most difficult time." Talia was diagnosed with not one but two different types of cancer: neuorplastoma as well as preleukemia that had spread into her bone marrow. That didn't get in the way of connecting with her fans and sharing her journey. In an interview in 2012, when asked what she wanted to be remembered for, she wanted to be, "remembered as the bubbly girl who wanted to do something about childhood cancer". She def succeeded.

The Youtube community has been speaking out all day on this loss far. Jenna Marbles Tweeted, "Talia Joy touched and inspired so many peoples lives. We will love, miss, and remember you forever. Heaven just got one fabulous angel."

Tyler Oakley also paid his respects, by Tweeting:

@TaliaJoy18 Incredibly humbled to find that Talia followed me, considering how much she had inspired me. So sad. Gone way too soon.
