Chad Lowe and Kim Painter Mourn Death of 13-Year-Old Daughter Fiona

The family’s statement described Fiona as the light of their lives, noting she was deeply loved by her parents and her sisters, 17-year-old Mabel and 10-year-old Nixie. While the cause of death was not disclosed, the family used their announcement to urge anyone struggling with mental health to contact the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.

Lowe, 58, had previously highlighted his daughter’s spirit on social media, including a recent birthday tribute where he encouraged her to keep dancing through life. Beyond his public tributes, the actor has frequently spoken about the profound impact fatherhood has had on his worldview, describing the privilege of raising his daughters as his life’s greatest joy. In the wake of the news, the school Fiona attended informed parents that counseling services are being made available to students and staff to help the community navigate this loss.
