    Kyla said in a TikTok posted Saturday, “She’s sedated, intubated, in a medically induced coma. I am not losing my hope. I don’t know which way things are going to go. We still need your prayer and all the love. I will try to update as best I can. For now, she is still with us and she is still fighting.”

    Actor Ryan Reynolds visited Bella in the hospital in December after her bowel transplant surgery. One of the videos of Bella with the “Deadpool” star got over 3 million likes on TikTok.

    Reynolds, 47, asked Bella if it’s “scary” or “exciting” for her when she goes into a surgery.

    “Meh,” Bella responded.

    “Meh, I like that attitude,” Reynolds told her.

    Bella is survived by her mom, dad Lyle, and younger brother Waylon.
