Elena lived in Seville, Spain, and regularly inspired people around the world with her message of hope, perseverance, and love.
On December 3, just one month before passing away, Elena took to her Instagram account and shared a video in which she bid her fans a farewell.
The video was filmed from a hospital bed and despite all that she was going through, Elena didn't fail to bring a smile to people with her message.

Sadly, her fight came to an end just weeks after saying goodbye.
On Tuesday, January 3, Elena's family confirmed her passing in an Instagram story shared on her public account. The story said (translated): "Since this morning, Elena dances and looks down at you from her star. Thank you for everything."
According to Insider, she was diagnosed with a rare type of bone cancer called Ewing sarcoma when she was just 16-years-old.
She battled the disease for 4 years before passing away from complications.
