MTV’s “The Challenge” star Ashley Cain has revealed that his 8-month-old daughter has died amid her battle with leukemia.
Cain, a former UK footballer, shared the heartbreaking news about his daughter Azaylia Sunday, just months after she was diagnosed with a “rare and aggressive” form of the disease in October.
“Rest In Paradise Princess. I will always hold you in my heart until I can hold you again in heaven,” he wrote on Instagram.
His partner, Safiyya Vorajee, who a gave birth to Azaylia in August, also shared a tribute.
“You are my Angel my heartbeat my soul, RIP my precious baby, you will always be with me like a handprint on my heart,” she wrote.
Cain had revealed earlier this month that his daughter was given “days to live” in a prognosis.
“9 days ago consultants told us my daughter had 1-2 days to live, but thought she may pass that evening,” he wrote.
“Even with a barbaric disease consuming her blood, tumors in her brain and organs and amounts of pain I cannot imagine… She is still battling through 9 days later, with parts of the day with nothing but smiles despite her discomfort,” he continued.
