"She was a loving young girl who was smart, creative and loved to dance.

"Her passing is devastating for our entire family and we ask for prayers and privacy at this time."
The statement concluded: "If you or someone you know is struggling with mental health, please reach out to the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline by calling or texting 988."
Cops Called To House At 12.10am
Details of Fiona's death are starting to emerge.
Lowe — who was previously married to actress Hilary Swank, 52 — shared Fiona with his producer wife, Kim Painter, 52, with whom he also has two other daughters: Mabel, 17, and Nixie, 10.
According to TMZ, Fiona died at home on Tuesday, and authorities were called to the house at 12:10am.
Parents at Fiona's school reportedly got an email from the principal on Tuesday, letting them know that a student had died, as per Page Six.
The email did not specify the name of the student.
The message contained condolences for the student's family and advised that "counselors are available to meet with students and staff who may need emotional support during this difficult time."
Lowe Documented His Love Of Daughters
Lowe, here with wife Kim and eldest daughter Mabel, regularly posted snaps of his daughters on social media.
The 58-year-old actor's Instagram account is littered with heartwarming photos of his three daughters.
Lowe last paid tribute to Fiona in November 2025 to mark her birthday, sharing a photo of her beaming in cowboy boots.
The Emmy winner wrote: "Celebrating Fiona officially becoming a teen today!! Keep dancing through life FiBear! Love you soooo much!!"
The actor also shared a photo of all three of his daughters in February 2025, showing them visiting the ruins of their childhood home in Los Angeles, following the devastating Palisades fire.
"Almost a month after we evacuated our girls finally got to go back to see what's left of their home," he wrote in the caption.

Lowe said 'having daughters is such an incredible privilege.'
"The way they've handled this whole devastating experience is nothing short of remarkable. I am in awe of their spirit and resilience. Helping them navigate these tough times is my sole purpose. Being their dad is my life’s greatest joy and privilege."
Lowe reflected on being a "girl dad'" on the Still Here Hollywood podcast in August 2024.
He said: "Having daughters is such an incredible privilege.
"It takes what I've known intellectually about women and all of equality and the glass ceiling that's there, and how it's a misogynistic world in a lot of ways... And it's put it in my heart, because I have three daughters. And so I look at the world, really, from their perspective."
