Prayers continue pouring after death of Adalia Rose Williams, Youtube star with early-aging disorder

Wishes and prayers continue to pour in Adalia Rose Williams, a Youtube celebrity who filmed her life living with a rare genetic disorder, died at the age of 15. She died on the evening of Wednesday.

“January 12, 2022, at 7 p.m. Adalia Rose Williams was set free from this world. She came into it quietly and left quietly, but her life was far from it. She touched MILLIONS of people and left the biggest imprint in everyone that knew her. She is no longer in pain and is now dancing away to all the music she loves. I really wish this wasn’t our reality but unfortunately it is. We want to say thank you to everyone that loved and supported her,” the post read.

 

Williams was diagnosed with progeria, a disorder that accelerates the ageing process. Hair loss and delayed growth are among the signs, according to the Mayo Clinic. Children with this rare illness have a 13-year average life expectancy.

Many of Adalia’s fans and followers, including fashion designer Michael Costello, sent their sympathies to her family. Williams wore some custom-made outfits on her 13th birthday, which he designed.

“My heart is broken,” Costello captioned a collection of videos of the fashion-loving teen on Instagram. “I am at a loss for words and cannot stop crying. Adalia has been so special to every single person that she met. She was an angel.”

“Despite the cards she was dealt with, she had the most positive attitude and such big dreams of helping everyone around her. I love you so much Adalia… Words cannot convey how much you’ve changed my life. I will miss you dearly, friend, and I promise to cherish all the wonderful memories we’ve had together,” Costello concluded.

Ylianna Dadashi, a friend of the family, created a GoFundMe to help cover the funeral and medical costs.
