It comes after Ashley took to Instagram on Thursday to reveal Azaylia is about to have surgery to find out if her leukaemia has gone.
The reality star said Azaylia has been responding well after having a stem cell transplant but said there would be an anxious two week wait to get the results.
He penned: ‘This morning Azaylia goes into theatre to have a bone marrow aspiration to find out whether her marrow is clear of leukaemia.
‘It’s a nerve racking time because not only is she being put under aesthetic for yet another surgery, but we have around a 2 week wait to find out if her transplant has managed to clear out the leukaemia from her bone marrow, which is the news we have been waiting for!
‘My prayers continue, my hope runs on and my belief remains. “Wake up beauty, it’s time to BEAST!”’

Last month, Ashley revealed his daughter has been responding well to her stem cell treatment.
Reflecting on Azaylia’s health battle, he explained that when they discovered she was diagnosed with leukaemia she had a soaring white cell count of 200, and also had tumours on her lungs, kidneys, and stomach.
He revealed that a normal person’s white cell count is five, while adults who are suffering from the blood cancer tend to have a white cell count of 40, so it was alarming that Azalyia’s was so high.

Ashley explained that being told the news left him a ‘broken man’, and he claimed it was an ‘absolute miracle’ that she has been able to fight the cancer.
Ashley claimed doctors were impressed by ‘how strong she is’.
Sharing a number of snaps of his little on on her hospital bed, Ashley wrote: ‘Had such an amazing morning with my little princess.
‘The energy she generates for not only herself, but for me and anyone that enters the room is so irresistibly compelling!
‘UPDATE: The doctors told me this morning that she’s making her own cells ALREADY which is amazing news and they cannot believe how strong she is and how well she’s doing!’
Ashley went on to share his gratitude to the person who donated their newborn’s umbilical cord to be used for stem cell treatment.
