Wisin is living every parent’s worst nightmare at the moment.

The recording artist and his wife, Yomaira Ortiz Felician, made the most heartbreaking announcement possible on Friday afternoon:

They confirmed the death of their one-month old daughter, Victoria.

This is what Wisin wrote on Instagram to alert followers about the horrible news:

"Thank you, my God, for one month of life, for one month of Victoria.

"God gives, and God takes away, blessed be the name of the Lord. Princess Victoria, I will see you again in heaven.

"What immense pain I have, God, please help me. I want to use this moment to thank the millions of people that were praying for our family and our Victoria.

"Thank you because in all of your gestures and words that you had with us we were able to see God each time. My princess just died."

Wisin and Yomaira, who are parents to a pair of other kids, shared the news of Victoria’s birth with the world just a few weeks ago.

As for the tragedy that befell the child?

Wisin told Puerto Rico’s Lo Sé Todo that his newborn daughter was born with the genetic disorder of trisomy 13.

It inflicts one in every 10,000 newborns and symptoms can include kidney malformations, structural congenital heart defects, incomplete brain development, and failure to thrive.

This is a syndrome in which an individual has three copies of chromosome 13 material instead of two copies.

The 37-year-old star said that his wife is suffering from depression due to the entire situation that the family is now facing.

"We’re going through a difficult moment," he said to the show. "It’s things that happen."

We truly cannot imagine.

According to E! News, Wisin and his wife were made aware of their baby’s diagnosis when Feliciano was five months pregnant, yet decided to continue with the pregnancy because of their faith.

Since Victoria’s arrival, Wisin – who comprises half of the reggaeton duo Wisin & Yandel – has jumped on social media numerous times to share updates and information about the complications regarding his third child’s birth.

“I have always respected and collaborated with the press about every aspect of my professional career. But on this occasion, our daughter’s health is the most important thing for us,” Wisin said in a statement when Victoria was born, adding:

"In this respectful manner, we request the space to face this situation in the privacy of our family. We want to take advantage of this moment to thank everyone for the love that we have received.

"Like any other parent, we ask that you all continue to pray for us so that we can overcome this process and that our daughter will be able to recover soon. God will fulfill his purpose in our Victoria."

We send our prayers to Wisin and his loved ones.
