Julian McMahon Honored With Birthday Tribute From Daughter Weeks After His Death

Julian McMahon would have turned 57 on July 27, and his daughter marked the occasion by posting a tribute to him on her Instagram Story.

“Dad, Happy birthday,” she wrote, along with a photo of them hugging. There will never be enough words to describe how much I miss you. And somehow, even less that capture how deeply I love you. All I know is that I’ll miss you and love you forever.”

McMahon, who was known for roles in Nip/Tuck, FBI: Most Wanted, and more, died on July 2. He had privately been battling cancer before his death

The actor’s wife, Kelly, was the one to break the news to the public. “With an open heart, I wish to share with the world that my beloved husband, Julian McMahon, died peacefully this week after a valiant effort to overcome cancer,” she said. “Julian loved life. He loved his family. He loved his friends. He loved his work, and he loved his fans. His deepest wish was to bring joy into as many lives as possible. We ask for support during this time to allow our family to grieve in privacy. And we wish for all of those to whom Julian brought joy, to continue to find joy in life. We are grateful for the memories.”
