    Raven-Symone has revealed her father has died 11 months after her brother's death

    The 38-year-old former Disney channel star's younger sibling Blaize died aged 31 in November last year after a battle from colon cancer, and this week she confirmed her dad Christoper B. Pearman has also now passed away


    Alongside a throwback picture of her as a child with her father, she wrote on Instagram: "My life has been long and abundant. And the path I'm on started with a dream.

    "Hope he is watching with a smile on his face... #christopherbpearman."

    She also shared a white dove emoji.

    As well as working in public relationships and advertising, Christopher also did some producing, and even directed some episodes of his daughter's show 'That's So Raven'.

    He acted as her managed during her early acting career until she asked him to let her manage her own finances.

    In 2010, he told NPR: "I've been managing that girl's career since she was six months old.

    "It's just like you having a child and saying, you know, I'm ready to go to college and do my own thing and move out the house. You know, it's like okay, go ahead."

    After her emotional post, many fans and fellow stars sent messages of support during a difficult time.

    '21 Jump Street' actress Holly Robinson Peete commented: "Raven sending love and healing hugs."

    'Community' star Yvette Nicole Brown added that she was "sending love", while Brenda Song added: "I'm so sorry, Raven. My condolences. Sending you and your family so much love."

    And 'Saturday Night Live' star Kenan Thompson said: "Condolences to you and your family!!! Sending love!!!!"

    In December last year, Raven revealed her brother had died aged 31 after a two-year cancer battle.

    She said in a video at the time: "Last month, I lost my brother. He is in a better place now. He's loved and missed.

    "The emotions that have been coming, waving in an out of my body and mind. My family has been a little bit closer."
