Chad Lowe’s Family Lists Their California Home for $3.24 Million Following the Tragic Loss of 13-Year-Old Daughter Fiona

Actor Chad Lowe and his wife Kim Painter have made the painful decision to sell their Los Angeles home just weeks after the death of their 13-year-old daughter, Fiona. The family placed the Mar Vista residence on the market on October 16, quickly securing an accepted offer of $3.24 million as they prepare to move away and begin navigating life following the tragedy.

Fiona passed away on September 29 at a local medical facility. The Los Angeles medical examiner’s office later confirmed that the teenager died by suicide, leaving the Lowe household and the broader community heartbroken.

The move comes during an unimaginably difficult chapter for the household, who had only settled into the neighborhood after overcoming another major domestic crisis just months prior.

Inside the Sudden Sale of the Mar Vista Residence

The 3,239-square-foot Spanish-style property features four bedrooms and three bathrooms in the Mar Vista area of Los Angeles. Records show the family purchased the property for $3.15 million in March 2025, turning to the neighborhood after losing their previous residence in the Los Angeles wildfires.

Putting the home on the market less than three weeks after Fiona’s passing marks a swift, decisive effort to step away from painful daily reminders. An offer of $3.24 million was accepted shortly after the listing went live.

Public perceptions often assume that high-profile celebrity home sales are calculated investments aimed at maximizing real estate profits. Yet, the reality in sudden crisis situations is that real estate moves often serve as an immediate survival instinct, helping grieving relatives seek solace, private recovery, and fresh emotional ground.

A Family Mourns: Remembering Fiona’s Light

In a joint statement issued shortly after their loss, Chad Lowe and Kim Painter remembered their daughter for her spirit, passion, and artistic energy.

“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 family held an intimate celebration of life service in October, gathering with close friends and relatives to honor Fiona’s memory in private.

Honoring Memories and Leaning on Family

Fiona was born on November 16, 2012, and had celebrated her milestone 13th birthday with heartfelt tributes from her father, who affectionately cheered her on to keep dancing through life. Her older sister, Mabel, 17, also posted moving tributes online, sharing clips from their childhood alongside personal reflections.

“I love you so much, Fiona. I wish your short time here was easier and I hope your mind is at ease now. I will honor you forever and keep your memory alive. I love you, I hope you knew just how much.”

The family, which also includes 10-year-old daughter Nixie, has leaned heavily on extended relatives for strength during this period. On October 10, the household traveled to Santa Barbara, California, to attend the wedding of Chad and Fiona’s nephew, Matthew Lowe, and Emily Markus.
