She may have played a princess from a snow-covered kingdom on film, but Hollywood actress Kristen Bell sure knows how to warm peoples' hearts especially that of a six-year-old girl who is going through her own special adventure in life.

Bell, who is one of the stars of Disney's blockbuster hit Frozen, took some time off from her busy schedule to cheer up her fan, Avery Huffman, who has been diagnosed recently with an inoperable tumor in her brain.

Using her Princess Anna voice, Bell recorded a voice message for the little girl, who was visibly surprised and excited about the call.

The message began with the actress introducing herself to Huffman as Anna, the princess of Arendelle, and telling the little girl that she just wanted to say hello. Bell then wished Huffman well and told her that she loves bunnies just like her.

During the call, "Princess Anna" was interrupted by her older sister "Queen Elsa" who had her own message for Huffman too, which Anna relayed to the girl.

"Avery, my sister Elsa says she's heard that you've been such a good girl and that you've been so brave, she has decided to crown you as an honorary princess of Arendelle," Princess Anna said.

The princess of Arendelle excitedly told Huffman that she thinks she will make a great princess before ending the voice message by asking the little girl to greet her siblings, Addison, Cade and Alex.

Ever since they found out about their daughter's brain tumor, Huffman's mom and dad, Amanda and Brandon, have been documenting her fight against the condition on CaringBridge's official website.

According to the couple, they were informed by the doctor that their little girl had a diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG), a tumor that often develops on the pons, or the section of the brainstem located near the top of a person's spinal cord, making it inoperable.

The St. Baldrick's Foundation said that this is the part of the brain responsible for controlling a person's swallowing or breathing, as well as several muscles that allow the movements of the eyes and speech. The condition primarily affects young children, especially those of elementary school age.

Huffman is currently undergoing treatment through radiation, which could potentially help extend her life by a few months or even up to two years. Without the procedure, however, patients suffering from DIPG typically have a life expectancy of only one to two months on average.
