Chad Lowe’s family embraces tributes to late daughter Fiona

Chad Lowe’s family is leaning into two new heartfelt tributes to the actor’s late daughter, Fiona, following her tragic death at age 13.

Fiona’s older sister, Mabel — whom Chad shares with his wife, Kim Painter, alongside their youngest daughter, Nixie, 10 — reposted tributes from Fiona’s former dance teacher and the youth club and camp she once attended to her Instagram Stories Friday.

Her dance teacher, Kendra Andrews — the sister of sportscaster Erin Andrews — shared two videos of Fiona rehearsing in a dance studio, offering words of encouragement as she practiced.

“This first video was taken only a month after you lost your home in the fire,” Kendra wrote, referring to the Palisades Fire. “You came into the studio like you always did for all the years I’ve known you … excited with a beaming, bright smile and a big, warm hug for me.”

“The next video is our second rehearsal a few weeks later,” she continued. “You had clearly spent so much time outside of the studio working hard to fine tune and finesse. Your passion and determination were incredibly beautiful to witness.”

“I didn’t film when you performed it on stage a couple days later, as I wanted to be fully present and soak it in. I just watched [you] from the wings, [my] heart swelling with pride and my eyes flooding with tears of joy.”

Kendra concluded, “FiFi, I love you more than words can convey. It was an honor to teach you, laugh with you, and watch you grow. Our hearts are shattered. We will never be the same without you here. I will miss you and love you forever ♥️.”

She also addressed Lowe, Painter, Mabel and Nixie directly, writing, “I love you, and I’m thinking of you nonstop.”

Widget Works, a youth group Fiona attended, also shared a series of photos and videos of her enjoying time at the beach with friends.

In the video Mabel reposted, Fiona chatted with a woman behind the camera about a stuffed pumpkin pillow she had named “Mr. Pumpkin,” joking that he was a “lopsided pumpkin.”

“Thank you, Fiona. Thank you for all the beautiful years we were able to frolic, dance, laugh and love each other,” the caption read. “Thank you for being such an important part of our Widget Works family and for sharing your love, creativity and sweet sassiness with us.”

“We will miss you, and we will look for you in every wave, every seagull squawk, and we will chant your name amongst the ‘we are proud of yous.’”

“We love and adore you, and our hearts ache to be without you,” Widget Works wrote. “But you will forever be part of our summers, and we will honor you and remember all the beautiful days we were blessed with you ❤️ We love you, Fiona 🌊❤️❤️❤️ 🌊.”

Fiona’s mom also commented on the post, writing, “Love you so much.”

Chad, whose brother is actor Rob Lowe, and his family announced Fiona’s death Tuesday in a statement to Page Six, writing in part, “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.”

They concluded their statement by sharing the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.

Fiona’s cause of death was later confirmed to be suicide. She was pronounced dead at the hospital on Tuesday.

The following day, Chad’s father, Charles “Chuck” Lowe, honored his late granddaughter by sharing a photo of Fiona smiling at the camera as she swam in a pool.

He wrote in the caption, “Rest in peace, sweet Fiona.”

More recently, Chad’s former “Bones” co-star David Boreanaz also paid tribute to Fiona on Instagram, writing in the caption, “My deepest condolences to my friends Chad and Kim with the loss of their beautiful soul, Fiona. May she be surrounded in light and dance in heaven with all the angels.”

Painter commented on the post as well, writing, “Love you so much, @imdboreanaz — we all do.”
