The sad news comes just one month after Kelly became a mother herself, giving birth to her first child with husband and manager Tim Witherspoon -- Titan Jewell -- on Nov. 4.

Kelly's longtime BFF Beyonce shared a photo of Titan's hands on Instagram last month, congratulating her former Destiny's Child bandmate.

"There's no better feeling than holding my beautiful nephew," she wrote. "I thank god for the honor of witnessing my sisters journey into motherhood. I've always dreamt of our little ones growing up together. I'm so thankful for our bond. Baby Ty, I love you so much."
