People magazine reported Newport shared the news with her fans in a June 13 Instagram Story. The Story featured a black-and-white photo of her father, who had Alzheimer's disease. According to the publication, Newport's late father was a resident of a memory care facility.
"Earlier today we lost my wonderful father, David Richard Newport. On Tuesday he had a fall and since then he has had a series of complications and yesterday, we were told he most likely only had a few days," wrote Newport in her Instagram statement. "It has been a huge shock to lose someone seemingly so suddenly that yet we've been caretaking through such a long illness."
"I am so grateful to have been able to be by his bedside all week and in his final moments to help both him and my mom. I'm grateful we had some idea what was happening toward the end so much of our family could gather to be with him," wrote Newport.
"She wanted me to share so those who knew and loved him could think fondly of him at this time," continued Newport, as reported by People.
"I think both of us are a lot more aware of the way that we talk to each other. And maybe that needs to be more positive," said Newport during the interview.
