Chrissy Teigen says her daughter Luna has been "incredibly empathetic" after the death of baby Jack.

The 34-year-old model praised her four-year-old girl as she shared videos showing a white box with the ashes of her third child - who passed away after being delivered at just 20 weeks old - and a teddy bear by its side.

Chrissy wrote on Instagram: "I'm just thinking a lot about jack today. our house is very open about life, death, grief, everything really.

"We try to explain things well and answer every question imaginable in a beautiful, spiritual by literal way.

"I know this is a weird post but I just wanted to share these to always remember my incredible empathetic little mini.

"Life is infinitely better with her in it. I miss u, jack. we miss you a lot. (sic)"

One video simply showed the white box with Jack's ashes and a stuffed teddy bear wearing a purple bow.

Chrissy - who also has two-year-old son Miles with husband John Legend - explained: "his is the cutest, most beautiful thing I have ever seen. We just got baby Jack's ashes back, so they're in here for now with some blessed, holy tie string.

"And Luna put a little therapy bear around him and the best part is I came down and she gave him a piece of her favourite snack, a tiny piece of Pirate's Booty... She's amazing."

In another video, Luna was seen petting the bear as she said: "Hi guys.

"Hi, this is baby Jack, and I'm Teddy. I'm Luna. How are you doing today?"

Meanwhile, Chrissy previously revealed she was told she could have died during childbirth when she suffered her devastating pregnancy loss.

She said: "My doctors diagnosed me with partial placenta abruption. We monitored it very closely, hoping for things to heal and stop. In bed, I bled and bled, lightly but all day, changing my own diapers every couple of hours when the blood got uncomfortable to lay in.

"My bleeding was getting heavier and heavier. The fluid around Jack had become very low - he was barely able to float around. At some points, I swore it was so low I could lay on my back and feel his arms and legs from outside my belly."

Chrissy was then given the devastating news that Jack "wouldn’t survive", as doctors warned her that if she carried on bleeding, there was a chance she could lose her own life as well.

We are shocked and in the kind of deep pain you only hear about, the kind of pain we’ve never felt before. We were never able to stop the bleeding and give our baby the fluids he needed, despite bags and bags of blood transfusions. It just wasn’t enough. . . We never decide on our babies’ names until the last possible moment after they’re born, just before we leave the hospital.  But we, for some reason, had started to call this little guy in my belly Jack.  So he will always be Jack to us.  Jack worked so hard to be a part of our little family, and he will be, forever. . . To our Jack - I’m so sorry that the first few moments of your life were met with so many complications, that we couldn’t give you the home you needed to survive.  We will always love you. . . Thank you to everyone who has been sending us positive energy, thoughts and prayers.  We feel all of your love and truly appreciate you. . . We are so grateful for the life we have, for our wonderful babies Luna and Miles, for all the amazing things we’ve been able to experience.  But everyday can’t be full of sunshine.  On this darkest of days, we will grieve, we will cry our eyes out. But we will hug and love each other harder and get through it.

She added: "After a couple nights at the hospital, my doctor told me exactly what I knew was coming - it was time to say goodbye. He just wouldn’t survive this, and if it went on any longer, I might not either.

"We had tried bags and bags of blood transfusions, every single one going right through me like we hadn’t done anything at all. Late one night, I was told it would be time to let go in the morning.”
