Lisa Vanderpump has confirmed that her father, John Vanderpump, has died. She shared the somber news of his passing on her Instagram account on Wednesday, July 3.
"I will miss you daddy …Broken-hearted," the Vanderpump Rules boss wrote in a statement, alongside a photo featuring herself and her dad standing out in nature together. "Rest in peace."
Her daughter, Pandora Vanderpump, addressed her grandfather's death in the comments section of Lisa's post by sharing a heart emoji.

Who is Lisa Vanderpump's Dad, John Vanderpump?
Lisa's dad was an ad agency director and the family lived in Dulwich, London in her childhood, according to her Wikipedia. Lisa's father's passing comes about five years after the loss of her mom, Jean Vanderpump, who passed away in 2019. The year prior to that, in 2018, Lisa's brother, Mark Vanderpump, passed away by suicide at the age of 59.
Around the the time she lost her brother, she opened up on RuPaul about the loss of her brother: "I'm also all about talking about what's happening in your life because when you reach out to people, when you share your stories, people will benefit from your experience, and you can say how you worked through it or maybe how you can prevent something in the future. So reaching out and being the best you can be and being the best support to those around you," she shared. "If you're going through something, it's OK. We're all gonna go through something."
