Zayn Malik‘s young cousin has died after battling a brain tumor for years.
Arshiya Malik was only 5, but had been diagnosed with the tumor several years ago. Zayn took a touching photo with Arshiya and his then fiancée, Perrie Edward, back in 2014 … the same year his family said, “Doctors have given up on Arshiya but she is still fighting brave like a soldier.”
Zayn was “really close” to Arishiya, according to the Daily Mail. He hasn’t commented yet about her passing.
The little girl’s mother posted a pic, saying … “An angel wrote in the book of life my baby’s date of birth, then whispered as she closed the book.. ‘Too beautiful for earth.’”
