Heartbreaking news has emerged involving actress and former Loose Women panellist Lisa Maxwell, whose daughter Beau Jessup has reportedly died unexpectedly at the age of just 27.
Beau, who was studying in New York, was a student at Columbia University’s prestigious Journalism School.
The university confirmed the devastating news in a statement shared on Wednesday, expressing its sadness at the loss and sending condolences to Beau’s family, friends and fellow students.
A spokesperson for Columbia Journalism School said the community was mourning the loss of Beau, who was studying on its Master of Science programme.
Beau had been part of the university’s Class of 2027 and had been expected to graduate next May.
Lisa, who became a household name playing Samantha Nixon in ITV’s The Bill, had previously shared her pride in her daughter after she began her studies in New York.
Back in September, Lisa shared a photograph celebrating the university’s Class of 2027, singling out Beau as she congratulated the students.
Beau was Lisa’s only daughter with her husband Paul Jessup.
She had also made headlines as a teenager after building a successful business helping Chinese parents choose English names for their children, reportedly earning more than £300,000 through the venture.
The circumstances surrounding Beau’s death have not yet been made public, and no cause of death has been confirmed.
Our thoughts are with Lisa, Paul and all of Beau’s family and friends at this incredibly difficult time.
