That birthday followed an extremely difficult year after the family lost its Pacific Palisades home in the 2025 fires.
In February 2025, Chad shared pictures of Fiona and her sisters visiting what remained of their childhood home.
He said he felt proud of how his daughters had coped and stressed how much fatherhood meant to him.
Chad wrote on Instagram: “Almost a month after we evacuated our girls finally got to go back to see what’s left of their home.
“The way they’ve handled this whole devastating experience is nothing short of remarkable. I am in awe of their spirit and resilience. Helping them navigate these tough times is my sole purpose. Being their dad is my life’s greatest joy and privilege.”
The 58-year-old actor won an Emmy in 1993 for his performance in the television drama Life Goes On.
His later television work includes roles in Pretty Little Liars and Supergirl. He is also the younger brother of actor Rob Lowe.
