Zayn Malik's teenage sister is reportedly threatened with the death of her little girl.

The 17-year-old sister of former One Direction star Zayn Safaa has received messages threatening her for her daughter Zaneyah, who was born in January.

The six-month-old baby already has an Instagram account with nearly 32,000 followers, but is already the target of 'bad guys' who have threatened to take his life.

The level of abuse was shared by a friend of Safaa, who posted a snapshot of Zanajah on social media.

She commented on her Instagram account: "What a disgusting world !!"

In a message, the intimidators thought they were talking to Safaa and wrote, "Your baby is ugly."

Then they added: "You got married to cover up the fact that you were pregnant."

The intimidators then wrote: "You will hear when the child dies. I hope the child dies, it's ugly anyway."

Safaa married her love Martin Tiser, 18, in September at a traditional Nikkah Muslim ceremony.

Regarding her family, she wrote: "Being a young mother means we met a little early, but it also means I will love you longer. Some people said my life ended when I had a baby, but my life had just begun. Repost if you are a proud mother. "

Singer Zayn, 26, is also expecting his first child with Gigi Hadid.
