Leandro De Niro-Rodriguez, the grandson of Oscar-winning actor Robert De Niro, has died, his mother, Drena De Niro, announced Sunday.

"My beautiful sweet angel. I have loved you beyond words or description from the moment I felt you in my belly. You have been my joy my heart and all that was ever pure and real in my life," Drena wrote in the caption of an Instagram photo of her son.

She continued: "I wish I was with you right now. I wish I was with you. I don't know how to live without you but I'll try to go on and spread the love and light that you so made me feel in getting to be your mama."
