Actor Eric Dane, best known for his roles in the TV series Grey’s Anatomy and Euphoria, has died at the age of 53.
His representatives said he died of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease.
Dane announced his diagnosis last year, and before his death he had become an advocate for ALS awareness.
“He spent his final days surrounded by loving friends, his devoted wife and his two beautiful daughters, Billie and Georgia, who were the centre of his world,” a statement said.
Described as “committed to making a difference for others” despite the illness, his representatives said he would be “fondly remembered” and “deeply missed”.
He added, “Eric loves his fans and is always grateful for the love and support he receives.”
