Richie was born with a rare birth defect called omphalocele, which caused his internal organs to grow outside of his body.
Danielle, who appeared on her sister’s E! show Christina Milian Turned Up, posted a tribute to her son on Wednesday.
“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," she wrote. "I so appreciate the prayers and support from everyone. He touched my heart and was perfect in so many ways."
Danielle has an 8-year-old son, Daniel, from a previous relationship and 1-year-old, Naomi, with her husband Richard Dickerson, People reports.
Christina also posted a message about her nephew on Instagram, writing, her sister and brother-in-law have “shown the true measure of courage and faith for the last 9 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.
