Luke Perry’s Daughter Says She Misses Him ‘a Little Extra Today’ Following Untimely Death
Still grieving. On Saturday, March 23, the late Luke Perry’s daughter, Sophie Perry, shared a candid photo and message about her dad on Instagram. “Miss him a little extra today,” the 18-year-old captioned the snap of herself with a dog with the Riverdale star smiling next to her in a car.
It’s only been a couple of weeks since Luke died on Monday, March 4, after he suffered a massive stroke at 52 years old and clearly, Sophie is still thinking about him all the time. One day after his untimely death, she took to social media with an emotional statement.
“A lot has happened in this past week for me,” she said. “Everything is happening so fast. I made it back from Malawai just in time to be here with my family, and in the past 24 hours I have received an overwhelming amount of love and support.”
She continued, “I cannot individually respond to the hundreds of beautiful and heartfelt messages, but I see them, and appreciate you all for sending positivity to my family and I. I’m not really sure what to say or do in this situation, it’s something you aren’t ever given a lesson on how to handle, especially when it’s all been happening in the public eye. So, bear with me and know that I am grateful for all the love. Just being grateful quietly.”
Luke’s son, Jack Perry, also talked about what a great father he was. “He was a lot of things to a lot of people. To me, he was always Dad. He loved and supported me in everything and inspired me to be the best that I could possibly be,” he wrote two days after Luke passed away on March 6. “I’ve learned so much from you, and my heart is broken thinking about everything you won’t be here for. I’ll miss you every day that I walk this earth. I’ll do whatever I can to carry on your legacy and make you proud. I love you, Dad.”
We’re thinking of Luke’s family and friends during this tough time.
