Eric Dane has died at the age of 53.

The actor, who was best known for his work in series like Grey’s Anatomy and Euphoria, died due to complications from Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease.

“With heavy hearts, we share that Eric Dane passed on Thursday afternoon following a courageous battle with ALS,” the family’s statement to People read. “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.”

Dane revealed his ALS diagnosis in April 2025, saying in a statement, “I have been diagnosed with ALS. I am grateful to have my loving family by my side as we navigate this next chapter.” At the time, he was preparing for the debut of his new Prime Video series Countdown and a return to production on Euphoria Season 3 and added, “I feel fortunate that I am able to continue working and am looking forward to returning to set of Euphoria next week. I kindly ask that you give my family and I privacy during this time.”…..
