After his first wife died in 1991, Pierce Brosnan dealt with an identical situation 22 years later. His adopted daughter, Charlotte, was diagnosed with the same disease as her mother. Charlotte dealt with her battle with ovarian cancer head-on, but unfortunately, she lost her life at 41 years old, per People.
Brosnan released a statement to People in 2013 announcing Charlotte’s death, he said, “On June 28 at 2 p.m. my darling daughter Charlotte Emily passed on to eternal life, having succumbed to ovarian cancer.” The “James Bond” actor gave insight into her battle with the disease and her character throughout it all. He shared, “Charlotte fought her cancer with grace and humanity, courage and dignity. Our hearts are heavy with the loss of our beautiful dear girl. We pray for her and that the cure for this wretched disease will be close at hand soon.” Brosnan was by her side throughout it all, and the actor wanted her to feel joy even during the most difficult times. A close friend told People that Brosnan would constantly try to make her laugh as laughter can be the best medicine.

In 2020, Brosnan shared a photo in honor of Charlotte, he said, “Here’s looking at you kid … in remembrance of Charlotte.” And sadly, when the 41-year-old passed away, she didn’t just leave her step-father and brother behind, but also her kids.
