Julian McMahon’s heartwarming public message to his daughter revealed following his shock death
CHARMED star Julian McMahon’s heart-warming public message to his daughter has come to light following his tragic death.
Tributes have been flooding in from both fans and the showbiz world alike after the 56-year-old’s passing came to light.
The actor’s grieving family revealed he had died following a “private battle” with cancer.
It was not publicly known that the actor, best known for his starring roles on Nip/Tuck, Fantastic Four, Charmed and FBI: Most Wanted, was sick prior to his death.
Julian leaves behind his only daughter, Madison, 25, who he shares with ex wife Brooke Burns.
The pair split just a year after she was born.
Now the daddy-daughter’s last social media engagement has come to light after Madison bagged a role as a yoga teacher in Miami.
In a proud grid post in March this year, she wrote: “Taught my first yoga class today. I guess dreams do come true.”
The Home and Away alum then replied: “You’re awesome!”
She then wrote: “No YOU’RE awesome!”
The pair often interacted online, with previous touching chat centred on the death of her dog two years ago.
SAD LOSS
Julian was best known for his starring roles on Nip/Tuck, Fantastic Four, Charmed and FBI: Most Wanted.
On Friday, Julian’s family announced that he passed away on Wednesday, July 2nd, in Clearwater, Florida, after a private cancer battle.
His wife, Kelly McMahon, said in a statement: “With an open heart, I wish to share with the world that my beloved husband, Julian McMahon, died peacefully this week after a valiant effort to overcome cancer.
“Julian loved life. He loved his family. He loved his friends. He loved his work, and he loved his fans.
“His deepest wish was to bring joy into as many lives as possible. We ask for support during this time to allow our family to grieve in privacy.”
Kelly concluded in the heartfelt message she first shared with Deadline: “And we wish for all of those to whom Julian brought joy, to continue to find joy in life. We are grateful for the memories.”
Julian and his third wife, Kelly, tied the knot in 2014 and shared no kids together – although he has a daughter from his second marriage.
He was married to Baywatch star Brooke from 1999 until 2001 and welcomed daughter Madison McMahon in 2000.
His first marriage was to singer and actress Dannii Minogue, sister of Kylie Minogue, whom he wed in 1994 after meeting on the set of their film, Home and Away, in 1991.
Their marriage lasted just a year and a half as he resided in LA to pursue his acting career while she was living in England for music.
HIS FINAL POST
Julian’s last social media post celebrated what would end up being his final film.
The actor boasted about his psychological thriller, The Surfer, which co-starred Nicolas Cage and was released earlier this year.
He posted a series of promos for the movie after taking a year-long break from Instagram.
