TikTok star Natasha Allen has died at age 28 following a battle with cancer.
The news of her death was shared via her social media pages on Friday, August 22, alongside a photo of her smiling.
“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 message read. “Her spirit will continue to inspire all who had the privilege of knowing her. Any donations will go towards her service, any remaining funds will go towards synovial sarcoma research.”
The tribute concluded with a quote from Allen, which read, “Find meaning in your own life, find what makes you happy, find how you can make the world around you better.”
A GoFundMe, which was created by one of Allen’s friends amid her cancer battle, also honored the late influencer. (The account has raised more than $48,000 of its $60,000 goal.)
“On August 22, 2025, after living with cancer for 5 years, Natasha passed. Natasha was always very clear – even if cancer cut her life short she would never lose the battle. And she never did – Natasha won that battle time and time again. Natasha amassed massive social media followings on Instagram and TikTok, spreading awareness of Synovial Sarcoma & the realities of living with cancer, building communities and awareness through her humor and love,” the message read.
The post continued, “She built so much, spread so much love and left so much for us to take up in her absence. Please consider contributing regular donations to medical research in her honor. This GoFundMe will remain active to help offset the cost of Natasha’s services, and all remaining funds will be donated toward Synovial Sarcoma research. Thank you, Natasha. We love you. Rest in Power.”

Allen was told in 2020 that she had a tumor in her knee and she was later diagnosed with stage 3 synovial sarcoma, a “rare and aggressive type of cancer.” Allen entered remission in 2021 after undergoing an “intense regimen of radiation, chemotherapy and surgery.”
Months later, a scan revealed that Allen’s cancer had spread to her lungs and she was diagnosed with stage 4 synovial sarcoma. She chronicled her treatments on her TikTok and Instagram pages, which amassed more than 190,000 and 36,000 followers, respectively.
“Just because you have cancer doesn’t mean you stop living,” Allen shared in a May 2024 interview with ABC News. “You actually continue living, and you’ll get a perspective on life that you didn’t have before.”
