The “Charmed” actor passed away on July 2 in Clearwater, Florida, after a battle with cancer. His wife, Kelly McMahon, confirmed the sad news on Friday.
With an open heart, I wish to share with the world that my beloved husband, Julian McMahon, died peacefully this week after a valiant effort to overcome cancer.
Now, Julian’s final public message to Madison, 25, whom he shared with ex-wife Brooke Burns, has been revealed.
In what became a bittersweet moment between father and daughter, Julian offered a rare glimpse of his fatherly side through a heartfelt social media post.
Julian’s Last Words to Madison
Back in March, Madison celebrated a special milestone by sharing a video of herself teaching her very first yoga class.
The clip, which was posted on Instagram, shows Madison having a blast while instructing her students at Ahanā Miami Yoga Studio.
“Taught my first yoga class today,” she captioned the post. “I guess dreams do come true.”
Julian, ever the doting father, was quick to show his support for Madison. He commented on the post, congratulating his only daughter.
“You’re awesome!” the actor proudly commented, a message that would become his final public words to his daughter.
Madison playfully replied, “No. YOU’RE awesome!” showcasing their close bond.

At the time, Madison shared a photo of her “best puppy,” Sandy, expressing her infinite love for her. Julian commented, “Love. That’s it! Right there. Thank you!”
In October 2022, Madison shared a series of sweet bonding moments with her dad, calling them her favorite memories of the month. One photo showed a dinner date with Julian, who posed adorably for the camera.
Another photo captured a sweet selfie of the father and daughter, highlighting their striking resemblance.
