Safiyya Vorajee was left sobbing in a heartbreaking video on the one-year anniversary of her daughter's death.

The 34-year-old took to her Instagram earlier today and described this time last year as "the hardest time of my life".

In an emotional video, she asked fans to pray for her little girl.

She broke down as she told her followers: "This time last year was the hardest time of my life. I lost my little girl in the morning, which his why I wanted to come back to Azaylia's garden."

Safiyya continued: "I'm just praying and hoping the rest of the team and Ashley and everyone else is OK on that run. I know they're finding it difficult now. Please say your prayers today for my little princess."

She then filmed Azaylia's grave, which was covered with floral tributes.

The heartbroken mum and dad announced that they have parted ways just shortly before their daughter's death.

They sadly lost Azaylia in April 2021 after she bravely battled against a rare form of leukaemia.

In March, Ex On The Beach star Ashley shared that the couple decided to part ways a few months ago, but were ready to make it public knowledge.
