The Milian family is currently in mourning after the death of Danielle Milian's newborn son. Milian, the younger sister of singer and actress Christina Milian, announced the loss on Instagram.

On Aug. 25, Danielle Milian, who has an 8-year-old son and a 1-year-old daughter, took to Instagram to announce the birth of her third child. "Baby Richie has arrived! #prayersup for my #babyboy. He is already a fighter," she captioned an image of the baby's foot, reported Yahoo News.

However, hours later the excited family was struck by tragedy. According to E! Online, the newborn boy passed away on Aug. 26, just a few hours after being born, due to a condition called Omphalocele, which causes an infant's internal organs to develop outside of the body.

"Yesterday I was blessed with the birth of my Richie Bear. Unfortunately, last night he took his place with the Lord and we said goodbye. I so appreciate the prayers and support from everyone. He touched my heart and was perfect in so many ways," Danielle Milian announced on Instagram.

Christina Milian also took to social media to express her gratitude to fans who reached out to the family to offer support and asked them for pray for her family.

"The last 24 hours have been an emotional roller coaster but I'd like to thank everyone for being so supportive throughout my sister Danielle & Richards pregnancy," she wrote on Instagram. "The both of them have shown the true measure of courage and faith for the last nine months and I can't praise them more. Our family was blessed to have met our little Angel Baby Richie."

"We were fighting for him and with him the whole way and are now coping with the direction in which fate took," she continued. "I ask that you keep him and our entire family in your prayers -- Especially Danielle, Richard, Naomi & Dj and know that we've all been touched by our little Guardian Angel. His memory will forever live on in our thoughts and our hearts. May he now rest in peace in the arms of our Heavenly Father. Stay blessed."

Fans have gotten to know the singer's family on "Christina Milian Turned Up," the E! reality show that follows the lives of Milian, her mother and two sisters Danielle and Elizabeth Milian.
