Hailey Bieber Donates $20,000 to Help Eric Dane’s Family After His Death
Hailey Bieber donates $20,000 to a GoFundMe campaign set up for Eric Dane’s family after the actor’s sad passing.
Page Six pointed out that the Rhode founder was the third-largest donor to the fundraiser as of Sunday morning. Although Bieber did not attach a message to her donation, the size of her gift means that it came right after an anonymous $25,000 donation and a $27,000 contribution from Sam Levinson, the creator of Euphoria.
Besides these, some other well-known names in the industry have also come forward to give their support to the cause. For example, director Brad Falchuk and movie producer Randall Emmett each donated $10,000.
By the end of Sunday, the fundraising campaign had collected over $290,000 out of its newly set goal of $500,000. The money is planned to be used in helping Dane’s family cope with their loss.
GoFundMe Campaign Announced to Assist the Family of Late Eric Dane
The fundraiser through GoFundMe established after the death of Eric Dane expresses an intention to use the raised monies to financially assist the actor’s daughters Billie and Georgia who are teenagers, 15 and 14 years old respectively. The girls are the children of Eric Dane and his wife, Rebecca Gayheart. The fundraiser was first set up with a target of $250,000 but later the goal was increased.
Dane, a star on the TV show Euphoria, died on Thursday after a “brave fight with ALS,” his family revealed People through a statement.
The statement reads: “He was with his loved ones in the end – friends, wife, and two daughters Billie and Georgia who were the light of his life.”

The family’s statement further read, “We will miss him so much, and remember him with much love forever.”
Dane came forward with his ALS diagnosis 10 months earlier, in April 2025.
Mayo Clinic explains that ALS is “a disorder of the nervous system, in which the nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord degenerate and die,” resulting in “gradual loss of muscle function.” There is currently no cure for the disease.
At a Good Morning America interview in June, Dane revealed the first signs of the invasion of his body.
In his words: I felt some weakness in my right hand initially and just ignored it,” he continued, “I thought maybe I had been texting too much or my hand was just tired. But after a few weeks, I realized it had gotten a little worse.

Back in September, Dane was spotted in a wheelchair at an airport in Washington, D.C. where he seemed to have a hard time talking to the paparazzi.
Eric Dane who is a former star of Grey’s Anatomy never gave up on his dream of acting even after his disease had progressed. Giving his statement on an ALS panel in December, he mentioned, “I’ve got my mind, and I’ve got my voice.”
Following the death of Dane, Rebecca Gayheart has revealed that she is deeply grateful for the “flood of love and support” that the family has experienced.
