Former Destiny's Child singer LaTavia Roberson has opened up about the miscarriage she suffered last year, insisting the tragic experience has been a guiding force in her life.

The 35-year-old singer was expecting a little girl - a sibling for three-year-old daughter Lyric - but she was hospitalised in critical condition in July after experiencing pregnancy complications, and she subsequently lost the baby.

Following her heartbreaking loss, LaTavia thanked fans for their support and "promised to share the full details at a later date."

The singer credits the tragedy for helping her move forward in life, reported People magazine.

"I have two daughters. Even in the death of my second daughter, her spirit has guided me to stay true to who I am, to be a lot more ambitious, to take more risks. Her spirit has definitely given me a different meaning on what it is to have life," she said.
 

She also insists becoming a parent made her take a positive turn in her life after battling addiction and depression following her departure from Destiny's Child.

"Being a mother has taught me so much. Having my daughter is one of the best things that has ever happened to me. She changed me for the better, in my outlook on life.
