Social media personality Kate Hudson and fiancé Chance Moore are grieving the loss of their 2-year-old daughter after she passed away on Father’s Day.

Kate, who had included fans on Eliza Adalynn‘s health journey through the viral TikTok account Hey Eliza, posted to Instagram on Monday, June 21 that the child had died the day prior after battling cancer. Eliza was born in August 2018 and had been diagnosed at 10 months of age with a rare form of cancer known as rhabdoid tumor.

“My sweet baby girl,” Kate wrote. “I don’t know how we will go on without you. I know we promised you we would we brave, just like you. But we are broken. Even though we know you are no longer suffering or in pain or frustrated with what life had become.”

She continued, “I thought that because we knew you were dying, that your death would not feel so sudden. But it did. I wasn’t ready to see what I saw. I woke up this morning, still half asleep, and reached for your hand. But you were not there. You left last night.”

Actor James Michael Tyler is opening up about his years-long health battle for the first time.

In an interview with Today‘s Craig Melvin, Tyler—who played Jennifer Aniston‘s coffee shop manager Gunther on Friends—shared that he was diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer in September 2018 after a routine physical.

“I was 56 years old at the time, and they screen for PSA, which is prostate-specific antigen,” he said on Today. “That came back at an extraordinarily high number…So I knew immediately when I went online and I saw the results of my blood test and blood work that there was obviously something quite wrong there. Nearly immediately, my doctor called me and said, ‘Hey, I need you to come in tomorrow because I suspect that you may have quite a serious problem with your prostate.'”

As he soon learned, the cancer had spread to his bones. “For my specific prognosis, it’s of course stage 4,” he told Melvin. “Late stage cancer. So eventually, you know, it’s gonna probably get me.”

“I missed going in for a test, which was not a good thing,” Tyler noted. “So the cancer decided to mutate at the time of the pandemic, and so it’s progressed.” According to Today, Tyler, who is undergoing chemotherapy, can no longer walk.

Tyler now wants to help others, urging men to ask for a PSA test at their next doctor’s appointment. “There are other options available to men if they catch it before me,” Tyler said on Today. “Next time you go in for just a basic exam or your yearly checkup, please ask your doctor for a PSA test. It’s easily detectable.”

A Salt Lake City-based family is mourning the loss of their little girl.
