Grey's Anatomy Star Chyler Leigh Details Heartbreaking Moment She Learned of Eric Dane’s Death
Eric Dane and Rebecca Gayheart’s daughter Georgia is headed towards her next chapter.
Indeed, the Once Upon a Time in Hollywood actress—also mom to daughter Billie, 16, with the late Euphoria actor—celebrated the pair’s youngest child as she graduated middle school months after her father’s death.
“Congratulations Georgia !!! You have graduated middle school and survived an incredibly difficult year,” Rebecca wrote in a June 6 Instagram post featuring a photo of Georgia as she accepted a flower onstage. “I am so beyond proud of you — your tenacity, grit and grace has been on full display.”
“Welcome to high school— I have no doubt you’re ready,” she added. “I am so excited for you ! Not pictured is your MVP trophy for beach volleyball. Bravo , congratulations and I love you so much.”
Eric died of respiratory failure on Feb. 19 following his battle with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). He was 53.
Since the Gey’s Anatomy alum’s passing, Rebecca celebrated another milestone in the family: Billie’s 16th birthday.
“Happy Sweet 16 to the sweetest girl–mommy loves you to the moon and back,” the Scream actress wrote over a throwback pic of her little girl on Instagram Stories March 3, “unconditionally forever and ever.”
Though Rebecca has documented her girls’ wins over the past few months, the 54-year-old recently admitted that their family is “still in a state of shock” since Eric’s death.

“I just want to thank everybody for being so kind to us during the last couple of years,” the Jawbreaker star told Variety in an interview published March 11. “It’s been challenging and meaningful, and people are kind.”
And she couldn’t navigate the difficult time without her village. As she put it, “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.”
