But five weeks later, on July 27, Lily tragically passed away.

Allen, who made a name for himself after dancing in a field with a drone circling him to 'STAY' by The Kid LAROI and Justin Bieber - which has been seen 333 million times - broke the news this week on his social media accounts, including Instagram.

Speaking to the camera, he said: "So, a few summers ago I posted this video to the internet [him dancing to 'STAY'] and it did pretty well and I got to travel a lot and meet a lot of cool people, celebrities, be on shows, interviews, things like that, it was really neat.

"But the coolest thing I ever did was welcomed my baby Lily into this world with my wife Jessica.

"She was five weeks old about a week ago when she passed away at midnight."

Allen, whose account is @ToTouchAnEmu, was infatuated with being a parent for the first time - and even joked when she was born that he would 'definitely be farming content off my baby sorry in advance'.

The post continued: "I have cried every tear I can possibly cry I think. It's not easy. I don't wish this on anybody.

"I don't even know what to say I’ve waited a week to even mention it because I didn’t know how to talk about it.

“So yeah, I don’t really know what else to say. I just wanted to get it out there I guess.”

He went on to say that if any of his followers wanted to do something on the back of hearing the tragic passing of Lily, they could donate to Children’s Medical Center Dallas in her name.

Allen told TMZ that his daughter 'passed away in her sleep unexpectedly'.

Later saying if anyone would like to send him, his wife and family anything, should visit his Beacons page which can be found in the description of his social media accounts.

Allen added: "Just go hug your little one, squeeze them tight for me."

Lily, who was just 36 days old at the time of her death, had a memorial take place yesterday for her in Texas.
