Charlotte Carroll and Diego Bivero-Volpe have announced the devastating news that their daughter has died.
The couple shared a statement in which they explained that two-year-old Aurelia had sadly passed away following her cancer diagnosis.
Carroll, a film producer, and former Made In Chelsea star Bivero-Volpe received the news last year that she had been diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia (T-Cell).
It is an aggressive form of cancer that progresses quickly and affects the white blood cells.

Sadly, despite the efforts of the doctors, nurses, and specialists, the couple revealed on a fundraising page set-up to help with Aurelia's treatment that she had passed away.
In the post, they said the toddler died in their arms.
"It is with a heavy heart that I write to inform you of our darling Aurelia’s passing," they wrote.
"Our little girl went in peace surrounded by loved ones and in the loving embrace of her mother and I.
"In true Aurelia fashion, she left us not with a cry but with a big beautiful smile - frolicking fearlessly onto her next adventure.
"As we support her through to that next journey wherever that may be, her light continues to guide us through ours, shinning bright with her characteristic joy and love."
The message continued: "Aurelia will always be the warrior Charlotte and I admire the most.
"Anyone that met her was constantly in awe of her resilience, intelligence, beauty and good cheer even through the toughest of times.
"Thanks in no small part to your incredible support, we were able to fight alongside her to provide her the most possible time and comfort.
"Our thanks and admiration for the contributions made here are boundless. Without them, the armies of doctors, nurses, healers, therapists, specialists and researchers that saw to her care would not have been possible."
So far, the GoFundMe page has raised over £200,000, with Carroll and Bivero-Volpe promising that everything that's left will be donated to Great Ormond Street Children's Hospital as a thank you for their care and support.
The couple said: "Any funds not used we will donate to Great Ormond Street in a lump sum.
"We cannot express what this means to us, and to Aurelia."
Following the tragic announcement, people have flooded the page, which has now been stopped, with more donations.
Thanking everyone who has given to the fund once again, Carroll and Bivero-Volpe added: "Thank you to everyone that supported Aurelia during this battle. Her memory lives on with all of you."
