David Cassidy’s daughter Katie has shared a poignant message with fans following the icon’s death last week.

Katie tweeted: “Words cant express the solace our family’s received from all the love & support during this trying time.
“My father’s last words were ‘So much wasted time’. This will be a daily reminder for me to share my gratitude with those I love as to never waste another minute…. thank you.”
Katie has followed in her famous father’s footsteps, starring in TV shows such as Arrow, Supernatural and Gossip Girl.
David died last week after being admitted to hospital with multiple organ failure.
A statement released by his family read: “David died surrounded by those he loved, with joy in his heart and free from the pain that had gripped him for so long.
“Thank you for the abundance of love and support you have shown him these many years.”
David, who starred as Keith Partridge in the 1970s TV series The Partridge Family, was said to have been in need of a liver transplant when he was rushed to hospital in Florida.
He also revealed he was battling dementia earlier this year.
The star, who enjoyed hits in the 1970s such as How Can I Be Sure, said he had decided to stop touring, adding: “I want to focus on what I am… I want to love. I want to enjoy life.”
After his death, brother Shaun Cassidy penned an emotional tribute on Twitter, sharing an old picture of them as young children.
He wrote: “When I was a little boy and my big brother would come to visit, the first call of business would be a punishing pillow fight. During the battle, he would regale me with hysterical stories of our father, often culminating in his taking a giant leap off my top bunk.
“I tried to catch him of course. I always tried to catch him. But I never could. Now, I will carry him, along with all of the funny/sad/extraordinary days we shared, none more filled with love than these last few at his side.”

Plans for a memorial service are currently underway.
