Actor Chad Lowe and his wife, producer Kim Painter, are mourning the death of their 13-year-old daughter, Fiona, the couple confirmed in a statement this week. Lowe, the younger brother of "9-1-1: Lone Star" star Rob Lowe, shared the news alongside Painter, and the family has asked for space to grieve privately.

"The Light of Our Lives"

"WE ARE DEEPLY HEARTBROKEN BY THE LOSS OF OUR BELOVED FIONA. SHE WAS A LOVING YOUNG GIRL WHO WAS SMART, CREATIVE AND LOVED TO DANCE. SHE WAS ADORED BY HER SISTERS AND SHE WAS DEEPLY LOVED BY HER PARENTS. IN FACT, SHE WAS THE LIGHT OF OUR LIVES."

The couple's statement, reported by Fox News and confirmed by Variety, added that "her passing is devastating for our entire family and we ask for prayers and privacy at this time." The family did not disclose a cause of death, though the statement pointed readers to the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline for anyone struggling with their mental health.

Fiona was the second of three daughters born to Lowe and Painter, who married in 2019. She is survived by her sisters, Mabel, 17, and Nixie, 10. Lowe, 58, is an Emmy winner for his role in "Life Goes On" and has also appeared in "Pretty Little Liars" and "9-1-1: Lone Star" alongside his brother. The family lost their longtime Pacific Palisades home in the wildfires that swept the area in early 2025, a loss Lowe had spoken about publicly in the months since.

News of Fiona's death spread quickly across the entertainment press, with outlets including the Hollywood Reporter and wire pickups nationwide running the family's statement in full rather than speculating further. TMZ and E! Online both noted an outpouring of support from within the industry following the announcement, though neither Lowe nor Painter has commented beyond their initial statement.

Rob Lowe, who has often spoken about staying close with his three brothers, has not issued a separate public statement as of Wednesday morning. The family's request for privacy suggests no further details, including funeral arrangements, are expected to be made public in the near term.

For now, the Lowe and Painter family's message stands as the only word from those closest to Fiona: a description of a girl who loved to dance and was, in her parents' words, adored by everyone around her. Anyone affected by loss or in crisis can reach the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline by call or text at any hour.
