Kanye West & Kim Kardashian rocked by another family tragedy

The Wests have had a pretty rough few months after Kim's robbery in Paris, and Ye's mental breakdown mid tour - you'd think they're in stall for some good luck.

This unfortunately isn't the case as Kanye's cousin, Ricky Anderson, who is a G.O.O.D Music employee and is extremely close with the family revealed that his son passed away.

The little guy was only 17 months old, and according to Ricky's Instagram post, he passed in his sleep.

In the heartbreaking post he wrote: “Today was the worst day of my life!! I lost my lil man and gained an angel! Rest in Paradise!!!! I love you man.”

Going through Ricky's Instagram really pulls on the heart strings as most of his posts in the last year are all of his beautiful son looking happy and loving life.

Take a look at them here, and feel free to shed a tear - we did.
