CHRIS posted on INSTAGRAM, "I am still processing the last 24 hours. I am absolutely devastated and heartbroken.

"I just recently, in the last week, lost my mother to cancer, but I was blessed with the chance to say goodbye and I was processing it privately.

"We never got to say goodbye to our precious Hannah and it's another huge hit to our family.

"Thank you for all the kind words and condolences. They are truly felt and appreciated. I am now taking time to be present with my family as we attempt to heal from this series of devastating losses.

"HANNAH, I love you and I miss you. I wish I could hold you. This hurts so deeply."

We ask that people respect the family's privacy at this time and we will share updates as soon as we are able to.
