TikTok influencer Kaelin Bradshaw dies at 29

Kaelin Bradshaw, a known influencer on TikTok, has died. She was 29.

Her husband Austin Bradshaw recalled her battle with a rare form of cancer as he confirmed her death in a video shared on her TikTok page on Wednesday, Oct. 29.

"From the moment Kaelin was diagnosed, she was devastated, but also determined. She promised me and our family she was going to fight and never give up," he said. "She fulfilled her promise, but unfortunately, her disease progressed beyond her body's ability to keep fighting."

Austin shared that Kaelin died while holding his hand at 1 a.m. She was surrounded by her loved ones.

"She was not in pain, and her room was surrounded by the love and compassion of our entire family. She was not alone, nor was she ever alone throughout this entire journey," he recounted.

In an emotional tribute to her on Instagram, her dad also confirmed that they lost their "beloved angel."

"Thank you for the love, prayers, and support that everyone has shown our family. It means more now than ever," he said.

According to her GoFundMe page, Kaelin had Stage 4 cholangiocarcinoma or bile duct cancer, "which is a type of cancer that forms in the slender tubes (bile ducts) that carry the digestive fluid bile," per Mayo Clinic.

Kaelin documented her cancer journey on social media. In a YouTube video posted early this year, she shared that she started showing symptoms in October 2024.
