Rob Lowe’s family is mourning the heartbreaking loss of his niece, Fiona Lowe, who passed away at just 13 years old. Fiona was the daughter of actor Chad Lowe and his wife, Kim Painter.
In a statement shared with TMZ, the Lowe family expressed their deep sorrow, saying, “We are deeply heartbroken by the loss of our beloved Fiona.” They remembered Fiona as a bright, loving, and creative young girl with a special passion for dance.
The family described her as “the light of our lives” and noted how much she was adored by her parents and sisters. They also asked for privacy and prayers as they navigate this difficult time.
Chad and Kim, who married in 2019, welcomed Fiona as their second child on November 16, 2012. The couple also have two other daughters: Mabel, born in 2009, and Nixie, born in 2016.
Chad often shared moments with his family on social media, including a heartfelt birthday post last November celebrating Fiona’s transition into her teenage years, where he wrote, “Keep dancing through life FiBear! Love you soooo much!!”
Earlier this year, the family faced another challenge when their Los Angeles home was damaged in the Palisades Fire, a moment Chad captured with a photo of his three daughters supporting each other.
News of Fiona’s passing has prompted an outpouring of sympathy on social media. Fans and friends took to X (formerly Twitter) to offer condolences, with many expressing their shock and sorrow over losing someone so young.
The family concluded their message by urging those struggling with mental health to seek help, encouraging people to contact the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.
The Lowe family’s loss is profound, and the community continues to send thoughts and prayers during this incredibly difficult time.
