Slash's stepdaughter's mom has issued a heartwrenching message after Lucy-Bleu Knight died aged 25.
On Monday (July 22), the legendary Guns N' Roses guitarist announced on Instagram that his stepdaughter died "peacefully" in LA on July 19.
"Lucy-Bleu Knight (December 6, 1998), beloved daughter of Meegan Hodges and Mark Knight, stepdaughter of Samantha Somers Knight and Slash, sister of Scarlet Knight, stepsister of London and Cash Hudson, passed away peacefully in Los Angeles, CA on July 19, 2024," the tribute post read.
"Lucy-Bleu was an incredibly talented artist, a passionate dreamer, and a charming, lovable, sweet soul," it continued. "The family asks for privacy at this time and requests that social media speculation be kept to a minimum as they grieve and process this devastating loss."
Read the family's statement below:
Three days after her tragic death, the 25-year-old posthumously shared a chilling message on the social media platform.
The concerning post included a photo of the artist and went live roughly 3 hours after her stepdad and other loved ones shared their statement.
Many of the late singer's followers have speculated that the post was scheduled rather than shared by another person.
Check out the post below:
Lucy-Bleu penned a heartbreaking message, which read: "Whether I made you feel excluded, manipulated/ controlled you, told you to quit your day job from the comfort of being financially supported by my parents, or drowned real issues in toxic positivity-I am sorry.
"Countless missed opportunities and connections due to a disgustingly big ego, insecure heart, and fear of being vulnerable," she continued. "May my soul learn to evolve from my poor job at being Lucy-Bleu. Peace."
Her mom, Meegan Hodges, broke her silence by responding to her late daughter's cryptic post, saying: “MY BABY GIRL I LOVE YOU WITH EVERYTHING. I’M SO SORRY."
Knight was born on December 6, 1998, to parents Meegan and Mark Knight. Her mom first dated Slash, 59, in 1989 before rekindling their relationship in 2015.
The 25-year-old's cause of death has not been disclosed by family or officially reported at this time.
Slash canceled four forthcoming dates of his solo S.E.R.P.E.N.T tour before disclosing his stepdaughter’s death.
“Due to unforeseen circumstances, the S.E.R.P.E.N.T tour regrettably has to cancel the below performances. Refunds will be available at points of purchase,” the announcement read.
Our thoughts continue to be with Knight's loved ones at this time.

On Monday (July 22), the legendary Guns N' Roses guitarist took to Instagram to share a prepared family statement with his fans sharing the heartbreaking news that 25-year-old Lucy-Bleu had died.
According to her family, Lucy-Bleu passed away "peacefully" on July 19 in Los Angeles.
"Lucy-Bleu Knight (December 6, 1998), beloved daughter of Meegan Hodges and Mark Knight, stepdaughter of Samantha Somers Knight and Slash, sister of Scarlet Knight, stepsister of London and Cash Hudson, passed away peacefully in Los Angeles, CA on July 19, 2024," the statement read.

No cause of death has been provided by the family or officially reported at this time.
7News reports that the news comes after the guitarist canceled a number of his upcoming performances.
Now - just hours after the family shared their statement - a new post has been shared to Lucy-Bleu's Instagram page, leaving her followers concerned.
The post - which appears to be an apology of sorts - includes a posed photo of the 25-year-old, along with the message: "Whether I made you feel excluded, manipulated/ controlled you, told you to quit your day job from the comfort of being financially supported by my parents, or drowned real issues in toxic positivity-I am sorry.
"Countless missed opportunities and connections due to a disgustingly big ego, insecure heart and fear of being vulnerable.
"May my soul learn to evolve from my poor job at being Lucy-Bleu. Peace".
The post - which many of her followers have determined must have been a scheduled post rather than shared by another person - went live roughly 3 hours after Slash and other family members shared their statement.
Taking to the comments section, Violet Grohl - the daughter of Foo Fighter's legend Dave Grohl - wrote: "rest in peace honey".
The sentiment of the post has also led to many concerned followers to share their theories on Lucy-Bleu's cause of death.
Lucy-Bleu was born in 1998 to parents Meegan Hodges and Mark Knight.
Slash and Meegan first dated back in 1989, when she was roommates with Erin Everly - the ex-wife of Slash's Guns N' Roses bandmate Axl Rose.
The pair rekindled their relationship in 2015, and although they're not officially married, his love for Lucy-Bleu as his stepdaughter was clear.

New heartbreaking details have emerged surrounding the death of Slash's stepdaughter Lucy-Bleu Knight.
On July 22, the Guns N’ Roses guitarist announced the passing of his 25-year-old stepchild on Instagram.
"Lucy-Bleu Knight (December 6, 1998), beloved daughter of Meegan Hodges and Mark Knight, stepdaughter of Samantha Somers Knight and Slash, sister of Scarlet Knight, stepsister of London and Cash Hudson, passed away peacefully in Los Angeles, CA on July 19, 2024," the statement read.
The 59-year-old described Lucy-Bleu as “an incredibly talented artist, a passionate dreamer, and a charming, lovable, sweet soul," and asked for “privacy” and that “social media speculation be kept to a minimum” as he and his family “grieve and process this devastating loss".
Knight was born on December 6, 1998, to parents Meegan Hodges and Mark Knight. Her mom first dated the rock and roll legend in 1989 before rekindling their relationship in 2015.
According to The New York Post, the Los Angeles Medical Examiner’s Office revealed that her cause of death was suicide and that she passed away from hydrogen sulfide toxicity, which is a toxic, volatile gas that can be fatal to humans.
In addition to this, another report by the same outlet states that Knight had “a history of undiagnosed mental illness," and that her family allegedly said: “She was paranoid and would have hallucinations".
“This 25-year-old female was found in a residence with suicide notes and evidence of hydrogen sulfide inhalation,” the report noted, adding that her toxicology results tested positive for the presence of thiosulfate.
More heartwrenching details were shared about Knight's passing, with a report stating that she was discovered on the bathroom floor of the Los Angeles Airbnb she booked for four days. She was scheduled to check out on July 15.
The property manager attempted to message the artist many times and was “unable to access the front door” of the residence before contacting emergency services.
When officers arrived on July 19, they “noticed resistance they described as ‘suction’ when opening the front door of the unit,” as cited by the outlet.
“Upon opening the locked door, Officers observed a hand-written sign apparently meant for first responders warning about toxic gas. A chemical scent was also detected by Officers, who immediately backed out of the residence and called for assistance," the report continued.
The report also claimed that she had left notes on a side table.
Following further investigation, the Fire Department Squad 87 Hazmat Unit recovered lethal doses of sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, cerium hydroxide, and sodium thiosulfate.
They also found antidepressants, including escitalopram, which helps maintain mental balance, and paliperidone, which is usually for treating schizophrenia, in Knight’s wallet.
Three days after Knight's death was announced by her family, she posthumously shared a post on Instagram, which included a picture of the artist and a heartbreaking message.
"Whether I made you feel excluded, manipulated/ controlled you, told you to quit your day job from the comfort of being financially supported by my parents, or drowned real issues in toxic positivity-I am sorry," the post read.
"Countless missed opportunities and connections due to a disgustingly big ego, insecure heart, and fear of being vulnerable," she continued. "May my soul learn to evolve from my poor job at being Lucy-Bleu. Peace."
Her mom, Meegan, responded to the cryptic post, saying: “MY BABY GIRL I LOVE YOU WITH EVERYTHING. I’M SO SORRY."
