  "account": "Los Angeles, Hollywood actor and director Chad Lowe and his family are grappling with profound grief after losing their 13-year-old daughter, Fiona. The 9-1-1: Lone Star star and his producer wife, Kim Painter, have announced the heartbreaking loss of their middle child, describing her as a lively and cherished presence. In a heartfelt statement to People, the couple, alongside their elder daughter Mabel, 17, and youngest daughter Nixie, 10, remembered Fiona as a bright, creative, and spirited young girl who adored dancing. They emphasized her impact on their family, stating that she was the light of their lives. The family has chosen to keep the cause of death private but urged those facing mental health challenges to reach out for support through the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline. School officials informed Fiona's parents of her passing earlier in the week. This devastating news arrives less than two years after the Lowe family lost their Pacific Palisades home to the January 2025 wildfires, which the actor praised his daughters for overcoming. In November 2024, just before Fiona's 13th birthday, Chad Lowe shared a touching message on social media, expressing his enduring love for his daughter, writing, \"Keep dancing through life FiBear! Love you soooo much!\"",
