Chad Lowe's heartbreaking final post about his daughter, Fiona, has been revealed after her death was confirmed.
Lowe and his wife, Kim Painter, shared the devastating news that their 13-year-old daughter, Fiona Hepler Lowe, had died.
The couple confirmed the news, saying in a statement to People: "We are deeply heartbroken by the loss of our beloved Fiona."
They remembered her as a "loving young girl who was smart, creative, and loved to dance.
"She was adored by her sisters and she was deeply loved by her parents. In fact, she was the light of our lives."
Their statement added: "Her passing is devastating for our entire family and we ask for prayers and privacy at this time. If you or someone you know is struggling with mental health, please reach out to the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline by calling or texting 988."
Fiona is the second child of Lowe, 58, and Painter, 52, and was born on November 16, 2012. They also share Mabel Painter Lowe, 17, and Nixie Barbara Lowe, 10.
A year before her untimely death, Lowe had shared a sweet tribute to Fiona to mark her 13th birthday.
He shared a snap of the teen leaning against a wooden fence, wearing jean shorts, cowboy boots, and a white long-sleeved top, with her hair in two plaited pigtails, as he wrote: "Celebrating Fiona officially becoming a teen today!!
"Keep dancing through life FiBear! Love you soooo much!!"
The post was quickly flooded with condolences after the news broke, with followers writing: "My heart goes out to all of you," and: "Oh sweet Fiona. I am so sorry darling girl. My heart is broken for all of you. Sending so much love."
Others added: "So so so sorry for your pain. May Fiona rest in the Light, AS light," and: "rest in peace beautiful girl. i'm so sorry the world wasn't kinder to you, sweet angel. i hope you're smiling and dancing wherever you are now."
Lowe has often shared public posts for his children's birthdays, and also addressed their resilience in February 2025 after the family lost their home in the Pacific Palisades fire.
He wrote at the time: "The way they’ve handled this whole devastating experience is nothing short of remarkable.
"I am in awe of their spirit and resilience. Helping them navigate these tough times is my sole purpose. Being their dad is my life’s greatest joy and privilege."
Our thoughts remain with the family at this devastating time.
