“Euphoria” creator Sam Levinson and his wife, Ashley, donated a generous $27,000 to a fundraiser for Eric Dane’s daughters, Billie and Georgia, following his death.

The GoFundMe campaign, which was created by friends of the Dane family, sits at $171,555 with the Levinson’s contribution, as of Saturday morning.

The fundraiser was created with a goal of $250,000.

It was reported that a crowd-fundraiser had been started to help Dane’s teenage daughters on Friday, just one day after the actor died.

“Following his diagnosis, Eric became a passionate spokesperson for the [amyotrophic lateral sclerosis] ALS community, using his voice and platform to advocate for fellow patients and to push for greater awareness. Even as his own health declined, he remained deeply committed to helping others facing the same devastating disease,” reads the campaign description.

“As his illness progressed far more quickly than anyone could have imagined, Eric’s friends have come together to create this GoFundMe to support his girls and their future needs.”

After his death, several of Dane’s former “Euphoria” and “Grey’s Anatomy” co-stars honored the actor with touching tributes.

In a statement to Page Six, Levinson said he was “heartbroken” over the loss of his “dear friend.”

“Working with him was an honor. Being his friend was a gift,” he continued. “Eric’s family is in our prayers. May his memory be for a blessing.”

“He spent his final days surrounded by dear friends, his devoted wife [Rebecca Gayheart], and his two beautiful daughters, Billie and Georgia, who were the center of his world,” his family confirmed in a statement to People.

“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 noted that the “Grey’s Anatomy” alum “adored his fans” and “is forever grateful” for the love and support he’s received over the years. They’ve asked for privacy at this “impossible time.”

In the new Netflix series “Famous Last Words,” which was released on Friday only hours after his death was announced, Dane was able to share his final words to his daughters.

“I tried. I stumbled sometimes, but I tried. Overall, we had a blast, didn’t we?” he started, before sharing one last lesson for his girls.

“I hope you won’t just listen to me, I hope you’ll hear me,” he began. “First, live now, right now in the present. It’s hard, but I learned to do that.”

“For years, I would wander off mentally, lost in my head for long chunks of time, wallowing in worry and self-pity, shame and doubt,” the “Charmed” alum continued. “I replayed decisions, second-guessed myself. ‘I should have done this. I never should’ve done that.’ No more.”


Single mom Rumer Willis vehemently denies getting money from A-list parents: ‘I work 4 jobs’



Rumer Willis is going to die hard on this hill.

Bruce Willis and Demi Moore’s daughter insisted on Monday via Instagram Stories that she doesn’t receive financial help from her parents while raising daughter Louetta as a single mother.

The 37-year-old clapped back at “uninformed” and “rude” haters after posting about her “never-ending” to-do list, which ranged from “drinking 64 ounces of water” and “meal prepping” to “dating” and “planning afterschool activities.”

She captioned the Reel, “I need a nap and a duvet day asap. 🌀”

Hours later, Rumer took to her Story to set the record straight after seeing comments “judg[ing]” and “assum[ing]” she received assistance from her famous mom and dad.

“I work four different jobs to provide for my daughter,” the entrepreneur clarified. “I am the sole provider for [my 2-year-old]. I don’t live off a trust fund or get money from my parents. Most of the time I don’t have help with her. So how about y’all pause before you judge and assume.”

“I don’t live off a trust fund or get money from my parents,” Rumer insisted.

She went on to post a message from one of her followers pointing out that she has “backup” and will never “end up on the street.”

Rumer insisted she is “very aware” of her “privileges in life,” noting, “I don’t take that for granted. I don’t live my life treating family support as a backup plan.

“I take a lot of pride in providing for myself and my daughter, and I’ve carried real financial stress and responsibility,” she continued. “There were years when I was the sole provider for multiple people, navigating pregnancy, inconsistent work and the uncertainty that comes with that.”

Rumer, who welcomed Louetta in 2023 with ex Derek Richard Thomas, concluded by denying “the idea that [she doesn’t] work or understand financial pressure.”

Telling naysayers “two truths” can exist at once, Rumer wrote, “There’s room for both compassion for what others face and honesty about our own lives without it becoming a competition.”

Reps for Rumer, Bruce and Moore did not immediately respond to Page Six’s requests for comment.

Rumer is the former couple’s eldest child, with the duo also welcoming Scout, now 34, and Tallulah, now 32, before ending their 13-year marriage in 2000.

Bruce, 70, moved on with Emma Heming Willis, with whom he shares daughters Mabel, 13, and Evelyn, 11.

The “Die Hard” star and Moore, 63, maintained an amicable co-parenting dynamic over the years — and the actress has been at her ex-husband’s side amid his frontotemporal dementia battle.
