Pop star Billie Eilish sends message to BC girl battling leukemia

Eilish cheers sick BC girl

Pop star Billie Eilish recorded a special message for a sick B.C. girl.

Thirteen-year-old Kamryn Exley of Vancouver is battling leukemia for the second time, and was sent an uplifting Facebook message by the entertainer.

Kamryn cried with joy as she watched the video from her hospital bed, CTV News reports.

"Hey Kam, it's Billie. I wanted to make this video and reach out to you and let you know I'm here for you, I love you so much, stay strong," Eilish says in the video.

Kamryn's sister started an Instagram campaign urging Eilish to reach out after the young fan learned her treatments were going to prevent her from attending the singer's April 11 Vancouver concert. Of course, with the coronavirus pandemic, that show has now been cancelled.
