Reyes had been diagnosed with cancer only last year, though, since then, the star had documented her journey on social media extensively. Her passing was confirmed through a social media post, which was shared on her official account.

The post shared a photo of her and paid tribute to her. The caption read, “It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of our warrior,” her loved ones wrote. “She was a warrior, a brilliant person, and a human being who never gave up in the face of any difficulty that came her way. Sadly, she passed away to be with the Lord on March 11, 2026. We ask for your sensitivity, empathy, and love toward her family and friends. Thank you for loving her, supporting her, showing her so much affection, and always welcoming her with open arms.”

Her final post on social media was about her recent trip to Rio de Janeiro in Brazil. The idol had appeared to be smiling in the photo, while the caption had “Everything is fine” written on it.

The star had shared updates about receiving chemotherapy for her cancer diagnosis, where she had extensively talked about how it was one of the hardest years of her life. She was still, however, grateful for everything and had shared that “This year showed me how strong I can be, even when I felt I couldn’t go on. And now, as I say goodbye to this year, I’m not just closing a chapter. I’m closing a chapter of myself.”
