Beloved soap star Lorena Rojas dies at 44

Family, friends and fans around the world are mourning the death TV star Lorena Rojas.

The beloved telenovela actress died Monday at her home in Miami after a battle with cancer. Rojas, 44, was surrounded by her boyfriend, family and friends, her talent management agency Latin WE said.

She had appeared on international soap operas including El Cuerpo del Deseo, Pecados Ajenos, Alcanzar Una Estrella and her most recent project, the series Demente Criminal.

Rojas had been diagnosed with breast cancer in 2008.

In 2013, she was living with her boyfriend, Spanish businessman Jorge Monjes, when she adopted a little girl, Luciana.

Last year, she was told the cancer was back and had spread to her liver.

Her last tweet was less than a week ago, on the day of her 44th birthday. "Thank you all for celebrating my birthday with me. Beautiful day," she wrote.
