Chris Daughtry is flying home from his concert tour to be with his family following the sudden death of his daughter, Hannah.

The 25-year-old was found dead in her Nashville home Friday by the Nashville Police Department, People reports.

"Due to the unexpected death of Chris and Deanna Daughtry's daughter, Hannah, all currently scheduled shows for the coming week for Daughtry have been postponed," a rep for the singer said in a statement.

The statement continued: "The Daughtry family thanks you for your understanding and respectfully asks for privacy during this very difficult time.

"Further details will be made available at a later date. The investigation into this tragic death is still ongoing."

Hannah and her younger brother, Griffin, are Deanna's children from a previous relationship. Deanna and Chris also share twins Adalynn Rose and Noah James, 10.

Chris's wife Deanna has changed her profile photo to an image of a burning candle, in tribute.

Chris and his band released their first album in November 2006 after the singer came in fourth place on the fifth season of American Idol. He has been nominated for four Grammys.

'The Dearly Beloved' is the band's sixth studio album. It was released on September 17 alongside the single 'Lioness'.

Prior to this tragedy, the band began touring earlier this month.

The tour kicked off on November 3 with a stop at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville before traveling to Providence, Rhode Island; Portland, Maine; Niagara Falls, New York; and Syracuse, New York. The band was scheduled to make its sixth stop Friday night in Atlantic City, New Jersey.
