Eric Dane’s widow, Rebecca Gayheart, and their two daughters, Billie and Georgia Dane, stepped out in public for the first time since his death.
The actress, 54, was photographed alongside her two daughters at the Los Angeles premiere of Zendaya and Robert Pattinson’s new film The Drama on Tuesday, March 17 — nearly one month after Dane's death on Feb. 19.
The Grey’s Anatomy alum — who starred alongside Zendaya, 29, in Euphoria — died 10 months after revealing that he was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
Gayheart attended the event in a black, white and red-striped dress with matching black pointed heels and a bright pink satin purse. She wore silver jewelry to match and styled her hair in soft waves as she smiled for the camera.

She posed alongside her daughter Billie, 16, who wore a white lace corset tube top with a matching skirt with transparent lace detailing on the bottom. She paired the look with silver accessories and eye makeup and wore her hair up for the event.
As for Georgia, 14, she opted for a bright pink bodycon dress with matching open-toe heels and a black bag. Like her mother, she wore her hair down in light waves, and could be seen posing alongside her mother and older sister on the red carpet — and even at one point shooting a smile at the camera.

The appearance comes a few days after Gayheart shared in an interview with Variety how her family has been doing in the weeks since Eric's death. The actress — who separated from Eric in 2018 after 14 years of marriage, but remained a key caretaker for him after his ALS diagnosis — admitted that while they were "still in a state of shock,” they were receiving help from friends in Hollywood.

“I just want to thank everybody for being so kind to us during the last couple of years. It’s been challenging and meaningful, and people are kind,” Gayheart shared in the March 11 interview. “I’m having trouble receiving all of the support and love coming at me from every which way because of Eric and the [entertainment] community that’s so generous with their time."
They’ve been holding me and the girls up the last two weeks, and I don’t think they’re going anywhere. I think they’re in it for the long haul,” she continued. “Hollywood gets a bad rap. That kind of makes me mad, because we have a lovely community of people, and I’m so grateful for them.”
Dane’s family announced his death on Feb. 19, sharing that 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,” the family continued in their statement. “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.”

Before his death, Dane recorded one last message dedicated to his daughters in an interview with Netflix as part of their new series Famous Last Words, saying, "I tried. I stumbled sometimes, but I tried. Overall, we had a blast, didn't we?"
"I hope I've demonstrated that you can face anything. You can face the end of your days. You can face hell with dignity. Fight girls, and hold your heads high," he continued, beginning to tear up. "Billie and Georgia, you are my heart. You are my everything. Good night. I love you. Those are my last words."
