Earlier in the month, John, 60, posted a series of photos of his daughter, all with the hashtag #loveforlouella. These included a photo of him and Louella, a yoga teacher, on the beach practicing their moves, which was captioned: "Yoga on the beach in Spain with Loulou." Last month, meanwhile, John shared a picture of his living room, which was filled with flowers and cards from friends and his cast mates at Holby City. "So much love for Lou Thank you everyone for cards , flowers & messages and thank you Holby actors for Louella rose. #loveforlouella," he wrote besides the image.

John said his heart was broken following the death of his daughter last month. "Our hearts are broken by this horrific tragedy. We do not believe there to have been any malice intended in Louella and Ceon's weekend at Bestival," he said in a statement.
"They appear to have taken an illegal substance but we would appreciate cautious and sensitive reporting until the facts are known. Louella inspired all who knew her with her joy of life. The family would like to thank everyone for their heartfelt tributes and messages."
