Drake White and wife Alex announced the loss of their daughter, Della Elizabeth White, in a joint message shared on social media Sunday.

"On Sunday, August 31st our precious daughter, Della Elizabeth White, went peacefully to be with Jesus," they wrote on Instagram. "We are so thankful for the holy moments God gave us with her."

The "Faith" singer comforted his wife as she cradled their daughter in the hospital in an image shared along with the Bible verse, "The Lord is close to the broken-hearted, and saves those who are crushed in spirit."

Della was born at 29 weeks, weighing three pounds, 3.5 ounces, and the little girl was 13.25 inches long when she was born, the couple confirmed.
