Hailey Bieber Donates $20,000 to Support Eric Dane’s Family After His Death

Model and entrepreneur Hailey Bieber has contributed $20,000 to a fundraising campaign created to support the family of late actor Eric Dane. Her donation has drawn widespread attention and inspired a wave of support from fans and members of the entertainment industry.

The fundraiser was created to assist Dane’s widow, Rebecca Gayheart, and their two teenage daughters, Billie, 15, and Georgia, 14, as they navigate life after his passing. Initially launched with a goal of $250,000, the campaign quickly gained momentum, prompting organisers to raise the target to $500,000. Within days, contributions pushed the total beyond $300,000, reflecting strong public solidarity.

Dane passed away at the age of 53, ten months after publicly revealing his diagnosis with ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis), the most common form of motor neurone disease. His illness and subsequent death sparked renewed awareness about the condition and the challenges faced by patients and their families.

Hailey Bieber’s donation became one of the most widely discussed contributions to the campaign. Many supporters viewed her gesture as a meaningful act of compassion during a difficult time for the family.

Several prominent figures from the entertainment world have also stepped forward to contribute. Television producer Brad Falchuk donated $10,000, matched by producer Randall Emmett. The largest single donation so far has come from Euphoria creator Sam Levinson, who contributed $27,000. Their involvement highlights the strong relationships Dane maintained throughout his career.

Beyond celebrity donations, fans around the world have rallied behind the family. The surge of support has extended beyond the fundraiser, with increased attention and contributions reported for organisations working to support ALS research and patient care.

A family statement shared after his passing described Dane’s final days as being spent surrounded by close friends and loved ones. The message resonated deeply with fans, many of whom expressed condolences and shared memories of the actor’s work and impact.

Eric Dane was widely recognised for his performances on screen, but the collective response following his death underscores the personal respect and affection he inspired off camera. The ongoing fundraiser continues to serve both as financial support and as a public expression of love and remembrance.

As donations continue to grow, the campaign stands as a testament to community support during times of grief and the lasting legacy left behind by the actor.
