Isla Fisher shares heartbreak after loss of her father: 'My best friend'

Aussie star Isla Fisher has shared a heartbreaking tribute to her beloved late father, Brian, who she describes as her "best friend". The former Home and Away star took to Instagram on Sunday to share the news of Brian's passing with two photos of herself and her dad.

"How do you live without someone that you can’t live without?" Isla began. "How lucky am I to have had you as my dad. You were hilarious, positive and my best friend. No matter what was going in my life on you always asked me if I was having fun.

"I know this pain is going to get worse as the days between when I last saw you increase and that is very scary. I love you so much. Thank you for being the greatest father."

The star's famous friends shared their condolences on the post, with Reese Witherspoon writing, "Oh friend. I'm so so sorry. I know how much you left your daddy. Sending you all my angels."
