Earlier today Ashley, 30, told fans the heartbreaking news, writing: "Rest in paradise princess. I will always hold you in my heart until I can hold you again in heaven.

Azaylia's mum Safiyya Vorajee added: "You are my Angel my heartbeat my soul, RIP my precious baby, you will always be with me like a handprint on my heart."

The parents had been left devastated after doctors found more tumours and ran out of options to save his baby girl who was battling a rare form of leukaemia.

For weeks, doctors have said the brave baby girl could only have "days to live", but Ashley and Safiyya refused to give up hope.

Yet despite all the love and hope in the world the brave couple's sweet baby has been cruelly snatched away in the first year of her life.

Azaylia Diamond was born in August 2020.

Just two months after her birth she was diagnosed with leukaemia.

On Friday, April 23, Ashley and Safiyya said palliative care nurses warned their baby girl might not survive the weekend.

The heartbroken parents have been making every second count with their daughter - and made sure she was showered with love and happiness in her final hours.

Safiyya wrote on Instagram: "Feeling the heartache more and more today, as the Nurses woke me up this morning for a home visit & told me to enjoy the weekend as they now think her body is slowly shutting down.

"Hearing these words, rips and tears my heart and soul into pieces watching my little girl get tired is painful, but giving her 100% everyday is what she was promised, even when her eyes are closed I talk sing and shake her fav rattles so she is constantly surrounded by a positive vibe.

"Appreciating the day the hour and the min is something I never thought I would do as we all take life for granted."

On April 8, Ashley revealed in a heartbreaking Instagram video that his little girl could only have "days to live".

They decided to take her home from hospital to enjoy any remaining time they had with her.

The couple managed to raise over £1 million in less than 24 hours in a bid to get their daughter treated in Singapore.

However, more bad news was to follow as the couple were told that doctors in Singapore would not be able to do the treatment as her disease is too rare.

Little Azaylia's only option was palliative care after doctors realised they had run out of options to save her life.
