Beach Boys founding member and music industry titan Brian Wilson died on June 11, just nine days shy of his 83rd birthday. He is survived by seven children — Carnie and Wendy Wilson (of the girl group Wilson Phillips) from his marriage to Marilyn Rovell, which ended in 1979; and five adopted children from his marriage to Melinda Kae Ledbetter, whom he was married to until her death in 2024.
After the news broke of Wilson's death, eldest child Carnie wrote a heartbreaking message to her father on her own Instagram alongside a photo of herself, her dad and sister Wendy.
"I have no words to express the sadness I feel right now," writes Wilson. "My father @brianwilsonlive was every fiber of my body. He will be remembered by millions and millions until the world ends. I am lucky to have been his daughter and had a soul connection with him that will live on always. I've never felt this kind of pain before, but I know he's resting up there in heaven… or maybe playing the piano for Grandma Audree, his mom. I will post something else soon, but this is all my hands will let me type. I love you, daddy….I miss you so much already."
