The world is mourning the death of Grey's Anatomy actor Eric Dane, who died on February 19, after a courageous battle with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)—a degenerative disorder affecting the nervous system, often referred to as Lou Gehrig's disease. Dane was 53.
Following his passing, family friends launched a GoFundMe to support his two daughters, Billie and Georgia Dane, whom he shared with actress Rebecca Gayheart.
"It is with profound sadness that we share the loss of Eric Dane after a hard-fought battle with ALS, leaving behind his devoted wife, Rebecca, and his two teenage daughters, Billie and Georgia, who were the center of his world," the fundraiser read, adding, "Eric's friends have come together to create this GoFundMe to support his girls and their future needs."
Us Weekly reports that Hailey Bieber was among the leading donors, generously giving $20,000 to support Dane's family.
While Bieber's connection to the Dane family isn't publicly known, her large donation was a thoughtful gesture, suggesting that, like millions of others, she had been a long-time fan of his work, including his iconic role as Dr. Mark 'McSteamy' Sloan on Grey's Anatomy.
By Sunday, Feb. 22, donations to the fundraiser had surpassed $290,000 as the family works towards their $500,000 goal.

Dane's family confirmed his passing to People, sharing in a statement: "With heavy hearts, we share that Eric Dane passed on Thursday afternoon following a courageous battle with ALS. He spent his final days surrounded by dear friends, his devoted wife, and his two beautiful daughters, Billie and Georgia, who were the center of his world."
"Throughout his journey with ALS, Eric became a passionate advocate for awareness and research, determined to make a difference for others facing the same fight. He will be deeply missed, and lovingly remembered always. Eric adored his fans and is forever grateful for the outpouring of love and support he’s received. The family has asked for privacy as they navigate this impossible time," the statement continued.
Gayheart and Dane married in 2004 before separating in 2018. However, she called off the divorce following his ALS diagnosis. According to Page Six, after his passing, Gayheart broke her silence on Instagram Stories, sharing a photo of framed pictures of herself with Dane and their children.
"I am so blown away by the outpouring of love and support from our community,” she wrote, adding, “There aren’t words to express our gratitude. You are truly holding us up during this difficult time."
Dane first went public with his ALS diagnosis in April 2025. He told People, "I have been diagnosed with ALS. I am grateful to have my loving family by my side as we navigate this next chapter.”
