Fans mourn the death of TikTok star Samantha Ann Clark

Fans of TikTok star Samantha Ann Clark have being mourning the loss of the 17-year-old who died earlier this month after battling brain cancer.

Her husband Brayden G confirmed the sad news on 20th January on Clark's TikTok account where she had amassed more than 230,000 followers since 2019. Many of Clark's videos consisted of her documenting her everyday life and showing off her dance skills.

In September 2019 she revealed to fans that she was in a hospital undergoing treatment for brain cancer. Despite the severity of her condition, she maintained a happy outlook on life as well as the odd dose of dark humour.

Sadly in an update earlier this month, Brayden confirmed that his wife had passed away. In an emotional video that has been viewed more than 1.2 million times Brayden said: "This is the last update on my wife with terminal cancer. Hello everyone, this is the last update of my wife with terminal cancer. Last night she took her last breath. I just wanted to let you all know because I know she would want you to know.”
