The post was captioned: "This video is a tribute to the family that is always there, to the friends who came and to those who became family.

"Thank you to a love that is for life. Thank you for living this intimate moment with so much respect. We love you, Alejandra Murcia."

In the touching video filmed by Murcia, Alejandra documented her final days and shaved her head alongside her long time boyfriend, Raúl Ocampo.

Alejandra can be seen choking up as Raul kisses her forehead, and the two begin shaving her head.

As the beauty queen begins to cry, Raul quickly kisses away her tears and the two begin laughing.

The couple then embrace and share a slow dance, before Alejandra begins shaving Raul's head as well.

The filmmaker posted the video and said: "We lit up the camera with Ale and Raul for the last time. This is their powerful intimacy.

"This is not a video of a couple cutting their hair, this is a manifesto for love, in love, for love and of love."

Heartbroken fans have filled the comments with their condolences for Alejandra's friends and family.

One fan said: "One day they will meet again in eternity."

Another added: "Bon voyage, dear Alejandra."

One fan commented: "Thank you for accompanying her until her last moment, thank you for being there, thank you for setting an example that true love exists!"

The influencer, who had 220,000 Instagram followers, was well-known in her home country of Colombia and beyond for starring in telenovelas such as La Nieta Elegida and Always a Witch.

Also a model and beauty pageant contestant, she won the Miss Earth Colombia competition in 2014 and placed in the top 16 of Miss Earth in the Philippines that same year.

She underwent chemotherapy and surgery after discovering that she had three malignant tumours in her breasts and ovaries.

Her treatment initially went well but she suffered setbacks that brought her back to hospital, before passing away on October 21.
