Kaye, who is mum to daughters Charly, 23, and Bonnie, 18, had to fight back tears as she added: “Beau was Lisa’s only child, she had been studying in New York.
“There’s nothing to say, the feeling of sadness is just overwhelming, we are sending all our love to Lisa, her husband Paul and all of their family and friends.”
Lisa , who is best known for her role as Samantha Nixon in The Bill, was a regular panellist on Loose Women from 2009 until 2014. In more recent years, she has appeared in numerous stage productions and featured in epsiodes of Casualty and The Madame Blanc Mysteries.
Beau had been studying at Columbia University in New York City, and news of her passing broke on Thursday night. In a statement, a spokesperson for the university said: “Columbia Journalism School mourns the loss of Beau Jessup, a student in our M.S. program. We join Jessup’s family, friends and classmates in remembering her.”
Dean of the journalism school Jelani Cobb paid tribute in an email to the university’s team and students. “There is no easy way to share news of this nature and I recognize how painful it is to receive messages like this one,” he wrote.

“Any loss within our school family is difficult to process, and our thoughts and deepest condolences go out to Beau’s family and friends during this heartbreaking time.”
No cause of death has yet been confirmed for Beau, who had been studying journalism. Lisa had previously re-shared a photo of her daughter and her classmates taken in October 2024.
The caption of the original post read: “Our latest matriculation dinner was for new MSt students in Writing for Performance. Welcome: we’re so pleased that you’ve joined the Selwyn and @Cambridge_Uni community.”
Lisa added in her own caption: “Congratulations guys! Especially my daughter Beau over in NYC making us all super proud.”
With permission from her family, Columbia University re-shared an interview they did with Beau before her death. In it, she spoke about her hopes for the future.
“I want to work as a journalist and writer, reporting on people, culture, and social questions with the rigor I’m learning at Columbia. I’m particularly drawn to journalism for its power and immediacy, while continuing to write for theatre when a subject benefits from being explored through a different form,” she said.
“I’m inspired by journalists who have also written plays: Jeff Biggers, whose reporting has appeared in The New York Times and The Guardian, alongside his work as a playwright, and Josh Duboff, who worked as a senior writer at Vanity Fair before writing plays, including Scarlett Fever.”
