Her heartbroken dad Andy wrote on Facebook that the youngster had "finally found peace" at 7am on Sunday after her fight against the disease was seen by millions around the world.
Strangers had raised £76,000 for the little girl, from Oswaldtwistle, Lancashire, so she could enjoy her final weeks after being diagnosed with stage four neuroblastoma in September.
Pop star Harry Styles even offered his support after being moved by the image.
Andy wrote on Facebook on Sunday: "No longer does she suffer, no longer does she feel the pain of the physical constraints of her body.
"Now my princess has grown her angel wings and has gone up to play with her friends and loved ones. She will now watch down over her little brother and ourselves until one day we are reunited again.
"Last night she finally allowed me to hold her in my arms and we had a big cuddle as I told her how much I loved her.
"I told her again that it was okay for her to close her eyes and go to sleep and I kissed her forehead and her lips numerous times.
"It seems like this is what she needed to finally allow her to find comfort in her passing as within eight hours of this cuddle she finally took her final breath.
"She was a daddy’s girl from the start and even right up to the end.
"I feel like a massive part of me has just been torn away but I am so glad that I could give her that comfort in her final hours. She passed peacefully and calmly with not even a murmur."
