Chad Lowe and Kim Painter's Daughter Fiona Dies at 13
The family said Fiona was smart, creative and loved to dance, and asked for prayers while directing people to the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.
On Tuesday, actor Chad Lowe and producer Kim Painter announced the death of their 13-year-old daughter, Fiona Harper, asking for prayers and privacy.
The parents remembered Fiona as a "loving young girl who was smart, creative and loved to dance," noting she shared a special bond with her sisters, Mabel Painter and Nixie Barbara.
While a cause of death was not immediately shared, the family alluded to Fiona's mental health struggles and encouraged anyone struggling to reach out to the Crisis Lifeline by calling or texting 988.
This loss follows a trying period for the family, who lost their residence in the Pacific Palisades Fire; Lowe previously praised his children's "spirit and resilience" while navigating that experience.
Describing the teen as "the light of our lives," the parents reiterated their request for privacy; Fiona, born in Nov 2012, was the second of the couple's three children.
