Nick Cannon has shared a heartbreaking tribute to his late son Zen.

The Wild N Out star has marked the one-year anniversary of his five-month-old son, who tragically passed away from a brain tumor.

The comedian took to Instagram: “Physically I’m definitely on the mend but Mentally and Spiritually I’m broken.

"Been tossing and turning all night, and as much as I know I need rest, last night I couldn’t sleep at all.

“I can’t believe it’s been a year already since the toughest day of my life occurred. Such a painful anniversary. Losing a child has to be the heaviest, most dark and depressive experiences that I will never get over.”

Cannon also said he suppresses a ‘mixture of guilt, pain, and sorrow’ daily.

He added: “One of my Spiritual Leaders recently told me that I am in the midst of one of the most challenging seasons of my life, but encouraged me to be steadfast and know that all of this will only make me stronger, and to not lean on my own understanding but to rely on the the peace that surpasses all.”

The 42-year-old was recently hospitalized for pneumonia after a sold-out show at Madison Square Garden.

He continued: “I wrote a post from my hospital bed saying I will be okay and I just needed rest so don’t waste your prayers on me but I can definitely use those prayers right now…Continue to Peacefully Rest My Son, Zen Scott Cannon. We Love you Eternally.”

Last December, the father of 11 confirmed he had lost his seventh child on his talk show, Nick Cannon.

He said at the time: "Over the weekend, I lost my youngest son to a condition called hydrocephalus... brain cancer.

"It’s tough. And I have my therapist here, who’s been helping us through it."

The comedian revealed he had merely taken Zen in for a check-up; however, the appointment proved to be far more serious.

Cannon and Zen’s mother, Alyssa Scott, decided they would forgo treatment for the son, opting to give him the best quality of life during his remaining days.

In an interview with People, Cannon said: "We started asking, 'Is there a way to prevent this? If not, how long do we have?’

"The conversations quickly turned to, 'How can we give him the best life for the time that he does have?' It could be weeks, it could be months, it could be years."
