Rebecca Gayheart Shares Birthday Tribute for Daughter Billie Less Than 2 Weeks After Eric Dane’s Death

Rebecca Gayheart is celebrating her and Eric Dane’s daughter, Billie’s 16th birthday, shortly after his passing.

On Tuesday, March 3, the former model, 54 — who also shares daughter Georgia, 14, with Dane — posted a sweet snap on her Instagram Story of Billie as a little girl holding an ice cream, writing, “Happy Sweet 16 to the sweetest girl — mommy loves you to the moon and back unconditionally forever and ever,” on the photo.

The Jawbreaker actress also posted a video collage of photos of her eldest daughter through the years, including two snaps with Dane. In one photo, the Grey’s Anatomy alum has his arms around Billie, and in another, he and Gayheart kiss Billie on the cheeks when she was a baby.

Billie’s birthday comes less than two weeks after the Euphoria actor passed away on Thursday, February 19, at 53 years old, following his battle with ALS.

According to a statement shared on Dane’s Instagram, “He spent his final days surrounded by dear friends, his devoted wife, Rebecca, and his two beautiful daughters, Billie and Georgia, who were the center of his world.”

In an interview as part of Netflix’s Famous Last Words series, Dane shared some heartfelt sentiments for his daughters.

“I hope I’ve demonstrated that you can face anything. You can face the end of your days. You can face hell with dignity. Fight, girls, and hold your heads high,” he stated while speaking directly to the camera. “Billie and Georgia, you are my heart. You are my everything. Good night. I love you. Those are my last words.”
