Kyle Echarri had himself tattooed on the back with the eye of his “angel,” his late younger sister Bella, who died at the age of 12 due to a brain tumor.

The actor showed himself getting inked at a tattoo shop in Barcelona, Spain, through his Instagram page on Wednesday, Oct. 9.

“My angel has already been looking over her Manong for a while now. Now I can say she’ll be looking over me forever,” he captioned his post.

Fans and fellow celebrities were moved by Kyle’s act in remembrance of Bella, with Ogie Alcasid, Bea Alonzo and Iza Calzado, among others, sending love and admiration to the actor via the comments section.

Kyle first disclosed Bella’s condition in June 2022 as he asked the public to include her “complete healing” in their prayers. Bella passed away in April 2023.

“I love you more than you will ever know ta. You are the most amazing sister anyone could ever ask for,” Kyle said in a tribute to her.

“Now more than anything I’m happy to know that you’re done with the year of fighting something you never deserved,” he stated. “You can finally smile, sing, dance, swim, and eat again. And don’t worry I know I didn’t lose my sister, I just got a new angel.”
