Anne Curtis is mourning the death of a 19-year-old superfan who died of cancer this week.

The “It’s Showtime” host visited the wake of Charlotte Alegre who passed away Tuesday after a battle with acute myeloid leukemia.

The terrible news was passed on by fans to Curtis, whose small gesture provided some comfort for Charlotte’s family.

“She came!” Charlotte’s brother, Christian, wrote on Facebook Friday as he shared photos of Curtis’ visit. “For sure napakasaya mo Alot! Hindi tayo binigo ni Anne Curtis. Napakabait niya!

(For sure you’re so happy, Alot! Anne Curtis didn’t fail us. She’s so nice!)

Christian added: “Thank you to all the people who helped us and spared a second to share my post. It won’t be possible without each of you! TO GOD BE THE GLORY!”

Christian had earlier asked his friends on social media if they could help him reach out to Curtis for the sake of his sister, whom he said is one of the biggest fans of the “Bakit Lahat ng Gwapo May Boyfriend?” star.

On Twitter, Curtis posted afterwards: “Thank you to everyone that made [Christian’s] post on FB viral for it to be able to reach me.”

She also told Christian: “You were an instrument to making all of this happen. I’m sure your bunso (youngest) is one happy angel. Your love as a kuya (older brother) as moved me so deeply.”
