Los Angeles community offers support after actor Chad Lowe's daughter dies by suicide
Actor Chad Lowe's family declined offers of assistance after his 13-year-old daughter Fiona died by suicide on Sept. 29, while local schools and neighbors have extended counseling and other support.
Actor Chad Lowe's family is receiving condolences and assistance offers from neighbors and the school community after his 13-year-old daughter, Fiona, died by suicide on Sept. 29, according to the Los Angeles Medical Examiner. The family issued a brief statement requesting prayers and privacy.
A source said several families from Fiona's school reached out with meal trains and GoFundMe campaigns, but the Lowes have turned down the offers, sharing details only with a small, private circle. The middle school principal sent an email to parents acknowledging the difficult week and reminding them that counseling and wellness services remain available for students and staff.
The school’s message emphasized continued care for the community and a focus on keeping students connected and engaged. The family has previously faced hardship, including a house fire in early 2025, which Chad Lowe addressed on social media, thanking supporters for their thoughts and prayers.
