*Coco Austin has revealed that her father Steve has been hospitalized in Arizona due to the coronavirus.

On Wednesday, CoCo, the wife of rapper/actor Ice T, opened up to Page Six about how her family is “falling apart” after learning her father has pneumonia in both lungs, and a ventilator may be necessary, per PEOPLE

Sadly, Austin says it’s “not looking good” for her dad. 

“I’ve been sending as much love as I can, but there’s only so much I can do from a distance,” Austin told the outlet. “I want to be in the room with him right now and hold his hands, and just let him know that his family loves him, to push through, and this is too early for him to go.”

Austin said her father is “at the point where he can’t even talk,” and he’s become “so frustrated that he’s in this position that he doesn’t want to get on the phone.”

Austin explained to Page Six that her dad began experiencing symptoms on Father’s Day that progressively got worse.

“To know that the most healthy person in this family is about to go on a ventilator, they’re talking about that, which is really hard because I’m pretty much the next of kin,” she said. “I have a really big family and they put it in my hands to make these decisions, so it’s been really hard to have to even talk about.”

She also stressed the importance of wearing a mask during.
