AZEALIA Banks has revealed she's suffered a miscarriage in a heartbreaking Facebook post.

The rapper, 25, shared her devastating news with her fans on Tuesday, admitting she has been left feeling "taken aback" and "confused".

She wrote in the post, which has since been deleted: "So I've just had a really major life event happen and I want to talk about it because this wouldn't be an Azealia Banks page without loads of oversharing right?

"Anywho, I've just had a miscarriage and am pretty taken aback by it all and really confused and in shock and guilty and a bit depressed and like a failure and very ashamed."

She added: "Has anyone else had this same experience who cares to share some words of wisdom or words of anything regarding this topic."

And the star went on: "The self-loathing bit is a real struggle for me at the moment so share any words here, They will be greatly appreciated. Thanks (sic)."

The post immediately received a huge response from her fans, as they shared their support.

One wrote: "Your not a failure! Its normal to feel these emotions after a traumatic event i felt the same after mine. Its hard to believe right now but it does get easier over time. You never get over it but its easier to live with. You grieve how you need to and remember it wasn't your fault and your not a failure. (sic)."

Azealia later added: "I feel really stupid because I think I'm so big and bad an in control and In this situation I'm so powerless and when I first saw the embryo I felt this full spirit around me and was looking down at this little bean in horror/amazement.

"Now I just can't NOT have an awareness of this person and wont stop feeling like any and everything I've ever done in my life or want to do is pointless."
