It is believed Fiona passed away at home on Tuesday, September 30.
Law enforcement officials were reportedly called to the Lowe residence at around 12:10 a.m.
Fiona was the second child born to producer Kim Painter and Chad Lowe, the brother of actor Rob Lowe.
Kim and Chad are also parents to Mabel Painter, 17, and Nixie Barbara, 10.
The family released a heartbreaking statement announcing Fiona’s loss.
The 13-year-old was described as a smart and creative girl who “loved to dance”
Fiona was someone “adored” by her sisters and “deeply loved” by her parents, the family said.
“In fact, she was the light of our lives. Her passing is devastating for our entire family and we ask for prayers and privacy at this time,” the statement added.
Chad’s last post about Fiona went up on his Instagram grid in November to celebrate his daughter becoming a teenager.
Fiona’s official cause of passing was not revealed, but the family’s statement included mental health resources
“Celebrating Fiona officially becoming a teen today!!” he wrote in the caption, sharing a snap of the teen in cowboy boots. “Keep dancing through life FiBear! Love you soooo much!!”
The Life Goes On actor tied the knot with Kim in 2010. He was previously married to actress Hilary Swank for about eight years.
Chad has spoken in the past about how being a father to his daughters shaped his view of the world.
“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,” he said on the Still Here Hollywood podcast in 2024.
“And so I look at the world, really, from their perspective,” he added.
The Pretty Little Liars alum acknowledged that society was changing for the better and it wasn’t all “doom and gloom.”
“So I see how we’re really becoming conscious of the role of women,” he added.
Fiona and her sisters lost their childhood home in LA during the devastating Palisades fire last year
“The way they’ve handled this whole devastating experience is nothing short of remarkable. I am in awe of their spirit and resilience,” he said.
