Kimberly Van Der Beek offered her heartfelt condolences to Rebecca Gayheart as both women are going through the pain of a similar heartbreak.

Just eight days after James Van Der Beek passed away on February 11, Eric Dane breathed his last on February 19.

Breaking her silence over the Grey’s Anatomy star’s death, the Dawson’s Creek alum's widow penned an emotional tribute for the late actor.

On Saturday, February 21, Kimberly reacted to Eric’s passing in a bittersweet message.

"RIP @realericdane,” she wrote on her Instagram Stories over a throwback photo of herself and James posing with Eric, his ex Rebecca, and their two daughters, Billie and Georgia.

“We love you @rebeccagayheartdane,” the 43-year-old film producer then extended her support for the grieving primary caretaker of the late Euphoria actor. “Will miss our guys laughing at Christmas parties together.”

The photo Kimberly shared was from the 16th Annual Chrysalis Butterfly Ball in Los Angeles on June 3, 2017.

The ball raises money for Chrysalia, a nonprofit that helps individuals struggling to find jobs and security. Rebecca, 54, is a long-time supporter and advocate of the organization.

For the unversed, Dane breathed his last at the age of 53, 10 months after announcing he had been diagnosed with ALS.

His death came over a week after James' passing, who lost his life to colorectal cancer at the age of 48 after a two and a half year battle with the disease.
