by

Julian McMahon’s daughter is sharing a heartbreaking message to her late dad.

Approximately a month following the demise of the “Nip/Tuck” star at the age of 56, on July 2nd, Madison McMahon paid tribute to him on what would have been his 57th birthday.

Madison wished ‘Happy Birthday, Dad’ on her Instagram Story on July 27, accompanied by a picture of them hugging. There aren’t enough words to express how much I long for you, and even fewer that can fully convey the depth of my affection. All I can say is that I will always miss you and love you, forever.

Instead of her written message, Madison also included Ray Stevens’ song “For He’s a Jolly Good Fellow” as background music for her post.

In response, the 25-year-old published a message on social media, coming soon after the family had shared heartfelt remembrances of Julian, who passed away after a struggle against cancer.

May Julian rest in tranquility,” was how Brooke Burns expressed it on her Instagram post dated July 4th, accompanied by a picture of them and their daughter.

In addition, Kelly McMahon, the wife of the former Charmed star, also posted a heartfelt message after the passing of her partner who they had been married for 11 years.

In a heartfelt message to NBC News on the 4th of July, Kelly announced the peaceful passing of her cherished husband, Julian McMahon. After bravely battling cancer, he is no longer with us. Julian held dear his family, friends, work, and fans, and his greatest aspiration was to bring happiness to as many people as possible.

Undeniably, Julian had a knack for spreading happiness wherever he went. As a matter of fact, his “Charmed” co-star Alyssa Milano (the one who portrayed his spouse on the supernatural show) affectionately referred to him as a “magician.

In a heartfelt Instagram message on the 4th of July, I expressed: “His smile, his laughter, his gift, and his aura – they all radiated in a room, not merely charm, but warmth, playfulness, and profound comprehension.” He could illuminate any space with his presence.

Holly Marie Combs, who portrayed Piper on the show, expressed her heartfelt remembrance by saying, “The happiness and hilarity you sparked will forever remain etched in our memories.
