Actor Chad Lowe has attended a family wedding in Santa Barbara alongside his wife and two daughters, marking the family’s first reported public appearance since the death of his 13-year-old daughter, Fiona.

Lowe appeared in a blue suit, white shirt and striped blue tie. He was accompanied by his wife, Kim Painter, and their daughters, Mabel, 17, and Nixie, 10.
