Just days before she passed away, last Friday (2 May), her mother, Thays Brandão, revealed that doctors had diagnosed Milena with a brain tumour.
She was initially rushed to hospital on 29 April.
It has been reported that she was initially treated for dengue – a viral disease which causes a sudden fever and pains in the joints.
Milena passed away after she had 21 cardiorespiratory arrests, as reported by Need To Know.
Thays has since shared an emotional message in regards to the loss of her daughter, who had 196,000 followers on Instagram,
“The memories we spent together will remain in my memory and I’ll never forget your joy that was contagious to everyone around you,” she said.
“My girl, I’m already missing you not being here and I know I’ll miss you even more in the days to come.
“You were the light in our lives and I know that from up there you’ll continue to watch over us and light up our lives.
“And I’ll love you forever, and you’ll always be in my heart.”
Milena, who passed away at the Grajaú General Hospital, in São Paulo, Brazil, was known for participating in the soap opera The Childhood of Romeo and Juliet.
