Rebecca Luna, 49, Dies via Medical Aid in Dying After Early-Onset Alzheimer’s Diagnosis
Rebecca Luna, a TikTok influencer from Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, was diagnosed with young‑onset Alzheimer’s disease at age 48 in April 2025. She documented her condition, shared medical updates and advocated for Medical Aid in Dying (MAID), building a following of roughly 90‑100 000 followers and drawing attention after meeting pop star Lily Allen.
On July 22, Luna announced she was moving her planned MAID procedure forward to July 25 because the disease was progressing faster than expected. She posted the update to TikTok and confirmed the change on a GoFundMe page she had created to cover end‑of‑life costs.
Luna died on July 25 2026 at approximately 1:15 p.m., surrounded by her loved ones, as confirmed in a TikTok post and by her eldest daughter Maya. She was 49, a single mother of two daughters, and her death was reported by multiple outlets across several countries.
