"(Love) and thanks. We will be celebrating her life and legacy soon."
Miguel and Kelly announced the tragic news in a statement to People, which read: "The Cervantes family is heartbroken to announce that their baby girl Adelaide Grace passed away early Saturday morning."
"She was held in the loving arms of her family as she peacefully achieves the 'calm' for which they’ve been searching for so long."
Kelly also took to her own Instagram page to share a devastating photo of Adelaide's empty bedroom, writing: "The machines are off. Her bed is empty. The quiet is deafening. Miss Adelaide Grace left us early Saturday morning."
"She went peacefully in my arms and surrounded by love. Finally, she is free from pain, reactions and seizures but leaves our hearts shattered. We love you so much Adelaideybug and forever after."
