Rebecca Gayheart on Family Grief


Eric Dane’s loved ones are still grappling with his death. 

One month after the Grey’s Anatomy alum died following his battle with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), his ex Rebecca Gayheart admitted their family is “still in a state of shock.”

“I just want to thank everybody for being so kind to us during the last couple of years,” the Jawbreaker star—mom to Billie, 16, and Georgia, 14, with Eric—told Variety in an interview published March 11. “It’s been challenging and meaningful, and people are kind.”

Indeed, in the days since confirming his passing, Rebecca admitted that Eric’s community has been an incredible source of support, adding, “They’ve been holding me and the girls up the last two weeks.”

“I don’t think they’re going anywhere,” she continued. “I think they’re in it for the long haul. Hollywood gets a bad rap. That kind of makes me mad, because we have a lovely community of people, and I’m so grateful for them.”
