The country music star had previously been keeping his fans updated on his baby niece’s condition on his app, according to the Daily Mail .
In December of last year, Bryan revealed that the infant had a procedure done where they drained the blood from her heart and reintroduced it, which allowed it to grow stronger.
The baby girl seemed to be doing better last week after the medical procedure had thought to have been successful, but two days ago she got an infection and her liver declined two days ago.

“My only siblings gone from the world in a flash, in two different, crazy, tragic manners.”
Bryan’s brother, Chris, died in a car crash 12 years ago when he was 26-years-old. In 2007, the country singer’s sister, Kelly, died unexpectedly when she was 39 and her cause of death was never confirmed.

Fans have poured out their support for the country music singer upon hearing about his tragic family news.
Just a few days ago at his concert for the opening weekend of his 2017 “Kill the Lights Tour,” Luke Bryan melted his fans hearts when he brought a cute little boy onstage in West Virginia.
The little boy held up a sign that read, “Luke… Hunter is your No. 1 fan!!” and on the back of the sign it said, “Let’s Kick The Dust Up!”
Luke made his way to the boy as the fans cheer, took Hunter’s poster, and gave him a high five before pulling him up on stage.
