'Kind and selfless' 15-year-old girl dies from rare cancer

A courageous teenager has died after facing a rare form of cancer with positivity, her family has said. Phoebe Gibson was just 15, with a love for animals, horse riding and dancing.

Mum Philippa said Phoebe had faced her illness with courage - and never asked 'why me?'. She died at home in Hartshead Moor, near Cleckheaton in West Yorkshire, on Sunday.

Phoebe had been diagnosed with osteosarcoma, a rare type of cancer. She had started to feel pains in her legs in 2019.
