Dancehall artist Kiprich and artist/influencer Kizzy Don are mourning the death of their newborn daughter, Miracle, a close relative confirmed to Observer Online on Thursday.

Miracle was born prematurely while the couple was on a work trip in Colombia and had been in intensive care at a local medical facility. The couple had been seeking funds to airlift the infant to the United States for specialized treatment, as access to advanced medical care in Colombia was limited.

Earlier this week, the couple shared that Miracle had been successfully moved to another hospital in Colombia. In a video posted on social media, Kiprich showed the baby being transported via ambulance and aircraft, thanking supporters and asking for continued prayers. “You are worthy, give thanks for all support coming in, keep the prayers up for baby Miracle,” he wrote.

The unexpected early arrival of Miracle left the couple stranded overseas and facing significant financial challenges. An estimated J$40 million was reportedly required to transport the infant to the U.S., where she could receive the necessary care. Their GoFundMe campaign had raised more than US$27,000 of the US$250,000 target.

Kiprich had explained that both he and Kizzy had traveled to Colombia for work and that Kizzy had been cleared for travel by her doctor prior to departure.

The couple’s loss has drawn an outpouring of support from fans, with messages of sympathy and prayers flooding social media.
