YouTube weight loss star Mila De Jesus, who was known for her major weight loss transformation, has sadly passed away at the age of 35 due to a suspected heart attack.

She leaves behind four children from a previous marriage and her husband George Kowszik, whom she married just four months ago. Mila, originally from Brazil but living in Boston, had recently revealed that she'd been battling skin disease psoriasis since July last year. "It's been three months dealing with this situation, 80% of my body is affected," she shared online.

In a message to her 60,000 Instagram followers in October, Mila wrote: "Juggling doctors, medications, ointments, and taking a deep breath." Since the news of her passing, fans have been leaving messages of condolence on her posts, according to The New York Post.

A tribute posted on her official page reads: "I, Anna Clara, am posting this condolence note. We are very sad to hear of the passing of our beautiful mother. We appreciate all the prayers and condolences. Continue to pray for us Thank you."

Fans are mourning the loss of a beloved makeup guru who shared her life online. "All my most sincere condolences," one fan said, while another posted: "Root follower here, since the beginning of YouTube." A third shared their grief: "So sad, my God a lot of light, Mila. Rest in peace." Her child Pedro also wrote a touching tribute: "Rest, mom. I love you so much and no one will ever love me like you. God bless you," on her social media. Her friend Eduarda Gaia remembered their last call: "I will remember our last conversation on the phone forever! I love you so much, friend."

The star was famous for her beauty tips on YouTube and Instagram, with over 100,000 fans on YouTube alone. She bravely shared her weight loss surgery journey six years ago, even revisiting it last November on Instagram with before and after photos. "Six years since a decision that changed my life in various aspects," she wrote, showing her transformation from age 22 to 35.
