Chad Lowe and his wife Kim Painter announced on Tuesday, September 29, 2026, that their daughter Fiona has died at 13 years old. In a statement, the couple said they are“deeply heartbroken”and described Fiona as a loving young girl who was smart, creative, and loved to dance. She was the middle sister between Mabel, 17, and Nixie, 10.
Fiona had just celebrated her 13th birthday in November 2025, when Lowe shared a birthday tribute to her on Instagram. The family has also endured losing their home in the January 2025 Los Angeles wildfires, making this loss even harder to process for those watching from the outside.
The family asked for prayers and privacy, and their statement included the 988 Suicide&Crisis Lifeline. That resource is available to anyone in the U.S. by call or text at 988, 24 hours a day. If someone you love has gone quiet lately, this is your sign to reach out. What’s one way you check in on the people you care about?
