Hailey Bieber donated to Eric Dane’s GoFundMe pot after the Euphoria star lost his life last week following the sad announcement.
The 53-year-old McSteamy actor passed away 10 months after announcing his amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) diagnosis last year.
"With heavy hearts, we share that Eric Dane passed on Thursday afternoon following a courageous battle with ALS," the family announced on 19 February.
"He spent his final days surrounded by dear friends, his devoted wife, and his two beautiful daughters, Billie and Georgia, who were the center of his world."

The GoFundMe set a $250,000 target to support 'his two teenage daughters' whom he shared with wife Rebecca.
This is set to cover things like ‘housing’ costs to ensure they are taken care of.
"As his illness progressed far more quickly than anyone could have imagined, Eric's friends have come together to create this GoFundMe to support his girls and their future needs.
"Any contribution, no matter the size, will help provide stability during this incredibly difficult time and in the future for Eric’s wonderful daughters,” the page reads.
However, the page has since surpassed its goal after celebrities began to donate large sums of money, and most recently, Bieber contributed a significant amount to the family too.
According to the GoFundMe donations section, Bieber sent the family $20,000 (£14837.35) toward their goal, which is now at $277,509 at the time of writing, leading to the goal to be increased to $500k.
Another person who donated an eye-water amount was Sam Levinson, the creator of Euphoria.
Dane played Cal Jacobs on the HBO show, and was close with Levinson, who shared a heartbreaking tribute to his ‘friend’.
Levinson and his wife Ashley donated $27,000.
“I’m heartbroken by the loss of our dear friend Eric,” Levinson said in a statement to Variety.
“Working with him was an honor. Being his friend was a gift. Eric’s family is in our prayers. May his memory be for a blessing.”
Dane managed to record season three of the hit show in his wheelchair as his condition got worse.
ALS is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that damages motor neurons in the brain and spinal cord, per the Mayo Clinic.
In time, the nerve cells deteriorate, and muscles weaken, which leads to things like difficulty speaking, swallowing and eventually breathing.
Sadly, the typical life expectancy of someone diagnosed with ALS is three to five years, according to the Cleveland Clinic, but this can be dependent on many factors.
