Nara Smith: Daughter’s cancer diagnosis prompts wave of support


Support has flooded in for US influencer Nara Smith after she revealed that her two-year-old daughter has cancer.

The TikToker, a mother-of-four, said Whimsy-Lou was diagnosed late last year after she and husband Lucky Blue Smith spotted “something suspicious” and took the toddler to hospital.

She said the couple were referred to a paediatrician for tests which confirmed their child had cancer that had spread to other parts of her body.

Celebrities including singer Raye and influencer Haley Baylee were among those who posted well-wishes underneath Smith’s video about the diagnosis.

Her two-and-a-half minute video, posted on Wednesday, has been viewed by more than 25 million people across Instagram and TikTok.

In it, the 24-year-old says: “After a lot of X-rays, ultrasounds and a biopsy they immediately called us and said she had cancer.

“They told us it had spread and that she needs to come and start chemo treatment immediately.”

Commenting under Smith’s Instagram post, award-winning singer-songwriter Raye wrote: “My beautiful superwoman friend.”

Fellow British artist Leona Lewis said she was “sending so much love”, accompanied by three love hearts.

Popular New York influencer Haley Baylee added: “Sending so much love and strength to your family.”

Writing on TikTok, US artist Charlie Puth said “the whole word” was with Smith and her family.

“Our prayers are with you,” he wrote.
