Zelda, 26, lost her comedian father when he committed suicide at age 63 in August 2014. The Oscar-winning actor’s widow, Susan, later revealed that he had been battling severe depression, and had been diagnosed with Parkinson’s shortly before his death.

Not long after his death, the actress tweeted a message in tribute to her father, which White marked.

Carrey, 53, confirmed White’s death to Us Weekly on Tuesday, Sept. 29. “I am shocked and deeply saddened by the passing of my sweet Cathriona,” the actor said in a statement. “She was a truly kind and delicate Irish flower, too sensitive for this soil, to whom loving and being love was all that sparkled. My heart goes out to her family and friends and to everyone who loved and cared about her. We have all been hit with a lightning bold.”
