Katie Cassidy is speaking out after the death of her father.
Three days after it was announced that David Cassidy had passed away at 67, the actor’s daughter broke her silence in an emotional statement Friday.
“Words cant express the solace our family’s received from all the love & support during this trying time,” Katie tweeted.
At the same time, David still played an important role in her life.
David confirmed to the publication in February 2017 that he was no longer in connection with his daughter.
“I wasn’t her father. I was her biological father but I didn’t raise her. She has a completely different life,” he explained.
On November 21, a rep for The Partridge Family star confirmed to E! News that David had passed away in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
“On behalf of the entire Cassidy family, it is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our father, our uncle, and our dear brother, David Cassidy,” the statement read. “David died surrounded by those he loved, with joy in his heart and free from the pain that had gripped him for so long. Thank you for the abundance and support you have shown him these many years.”
The singer, actor and former ’70s teen idol is survived by his children Katie and son Beau Cassidy.
