Chad Lowe Issues Statement As Daughter Dies Aged 13

Chad Lowe and producer Kim Painter's 13-year-old daughter, Fiona, has passed away, according to a statement released by the family. In the poignant statement, the Lowe family expressed their profound sorrow over the loss of their "beloved Fiona." They fondly remembered her as "a loving young girl who was smart, creative and loved to dance."

The family emphasized that Fiona was "adored by her sisters and deeply loved by her parents," describing her as "the light of [their] lives." While the family did not disclose the specific cause of death, they acknowledged Fiona's ongoing mental health challenges, stating, "Her passing is devastating for our entire family and we ask for prayers and privacy at this time."

Chad Lowe, brother of actor Rob Lowe, and Painter welcomed Fiona in November 2012. She was their second child, following eldest daughter Mabel, born in May 2009, and youngest Nixie, born in March 2016. The family had been married since August 2010. Last year, Chad Lowe commemorated Fiona's milestone birthday on Instagram, writing, "Celebrating Fiona officially becoming a teen today!!

Keep dancing through life FiBear! Love you soooo much!!" The tragedy of Fiona's death follows a difficult period for the Lowe family, who lost their home in the Palisades Fire in January 2025. Chad Lowe shared photos of his family returning to their burnt home, praising their resilience in the face of adversity. The family's statement encourages anyone struggling with mental health, emotional distress, or substance use to reach out for help by calling or texting 988 or visiting 988lifeline.org for support.
