Social media star and inspirational speaker, Claire Wineland, has died, just one week after the lung transplant she hoped could boost her life by a few more years.

After suffering a massive stroke, Wineland was put on life support, but showed no signs of recovery and passed away on the evening of Sept. 2 with her parents by her side.
