The 61-year-old Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star, who also has lyme disease, wrote a candid post on Instagram about her daughter's health battle.

She also shared a touching tribute to her daughter, calling her "a survivor" and adding: "My own pain cannot compare to watching my baby suffer."

"As you will understand watching my Bella struggle in silence, has cut the deepest core of hopelessness inside me," Yolanda said.

"The invisible disability of chronic neurological Lyme disease is hard to explain or understand for anyone.

"I try to lead by example on our Lyme journey but my own pain cannot compare to watching my baby suffer."

"This disease has brought us to our knees, but we always get back up.

"We will continue to fight for better days, together. You are a survivor… I love you so much my badass Warrior."

Bella herself has long been open about her health battle, and just days ago she shared with fans some pictures of herself in hospital getting treatment.

"I'm sorry I always go MIA I love you guys," The Victoria's Secret model wrote.

People get Lyme disease via infected ticks.

Symptoms can include headaches, fatigue and skin rash.

She also recently told British Vogue that she suffers from endometriosis.

"You're shooting Victoria's Secret on your period, with endo. That should be illegal. I'm going to talk to the White House about it, because we should literally ban women working on the week of their period. And the week before, to be honest," she said.
