Christina Milian is very close with her two sisters, Danielle and Elizabeth Flores. Unfortunately, the middle "Turned Up" beauty (Danielle) learned that her unborn son was diagnosed with a life-threatening condition called omphalocele back in March. The celebrity hairstylist welcomed her baby boy on Wednesday (August 26), but he tragically died shortly after the birth.
Flores initially remained positive on Instagram, asking for fans to send their well wishes:
Baby Richie has arrived! #prayersup for my #babyboy .. He is already a fighter! #moo #obaby

But Flores suffered major heartbreak just a few hours later:
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. A photo posted by Danielle Milian (@danielle_milian) on Aug 26, 2015 at 12:19pm PDT
Loyal followers continue offering their condolences.
Flores revealed her family's struggles to US Weekly a few months ago:
"The tech said, 'I can't see the sex... because I am seeing... intestines.' [My] son's stomach, gallbladder, spleen, and liver could be seen outside his torso... I was told there's almost a 53 percent chance of mortality."
Doctors recommended that Flores immediately terminate the pregnancy, but she refused:
"I said to [husband Richard], 'Could you live with this?' Because I know can. I know I could be in a hospital every day. As a mother, I will do whatever it takes for my child... No matter how long he has in this world, I could not imagine taking his chance away."
Milian also shared this emotional update:
The "Rebel" songstress' rumored boyfriend Lil Wayne remains mum.
Thoughts go out to the Milian and Flores family during this devastating time.
