Her deathcame less than a week after Kyla revealed that Bella was battling a lung infection, which prompted her to be intubated and placed in a medically induced coma.
"She is sedated, intubated, in a medically induced coma, and I am not losing my hope," Kyla shared in a tearful update one day before Bella's death. "I don't know which way things are gonna go. We still need your prayer and all the love... For now, she is still with us and she is still fighting."
Prior to her death, Bella told People her vision of Heaven.
"Heaven has a lot of clouds, a big castle built of clouds," she said at the time. "God would be there."
Now, Kyla told the outlet of her daughter, "She was fearless. What ever she faced I never saw fear in her. She taught me bravery."
