Hollywood is sending its deepest condolences to actor and director Chad Lowe and his wife, Kim Painter, following an unimaginable family tragedy.
The couple recently confirmed the devastating news that their 13-year-old daughter, Fiona Lowe, has passed away. In a heartbreaking statement to the public, the grieving family described Fiona 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,” the family shared. “In fact, she was the light of our lives.”
Chad, who is the younger brother of actor Rob Lowe, has always been a devoted and proud father. Just last November, he celebrated Fiona’s milestone 13th birthday on Instagram, sweetly calling her “FiBear” and encouraging her to keep dancing through life.
The Lowe family has faced immense challenges recently. Last year, the family of five tragically lost their Los Angeles home in a devastating fire. Through it all, Chad praised his daughters’ resilience, calling being their dad his “life’s greatest joy and privilege.”
Dealing with sudden grief is incredibly difficult. Just recently, we saw how Kaia Gerber and Cindy Crawford were left heartbroken over a sudden family tragedy. Now, the entire entertainment community is wrapping their arms around the Lowe family.
While no official cause of death was provided, the family asked for privacy and shared the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline for anyone struggling with mental health. Losing a child is a pain no parent should ever have to endure.
