A POPULAR Irish influencer who documented her life with terminal cancer has died.

Ms Jayda McCann, 24, passed away yesterday after a long fight with the stage 4 disease.

Her family broke the news to Ms McCann's 68,000 followers on the social media giant by posting on her story:

"Just want to update you all on Jade's situation.

Jade passed away peacefully in her sleep this morning at 5:10am.

We will put up a post in the near future with more details regarding her passing but for now her family would appreciate privacy until everything is in order.

Thank you all for your support and continued kindness,"

Ms McCann was popular with her followers for her upbeat and positive attitude, describing herself on her bio as "Living with stage 4 cancer & kicking its bum with positivity and lifestyle".
