Teen Tragedy: US Actor Chad Lowe & Family Grieve 13-Year-Old Daughter

A shocking loss hit Hollywood Sunday as Hollywood actor Chad Lowe and his wife, producer Kim Painter, announced the tragic death of their 13‑year‑old daughter, Fiona.

In a concise but heartfelt message, the couple described Fiona as a "loving, smart, creative girl who loved to dance" and the "light of their lives." They implored fans and the public for privacy and to keep the family in their thoughts during this difficult time.

The statement also serves as a gentle reminder about mental health. The family encouraged anyone who may be struggling or worried about a friend or loved one to reach out to the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline by calling or texting 988.

Chad Lowe, known for his work on "Life Goes On," "Pretty Little Liars," and "Supergirl," is no stranger to the spotlight. He is also the older brother of fellow actor Rob Lowe. Aside from Fiona, he shares two other daughters with Kim: Mabel, 17, and Nixie, 10.
