British actress and TV host Lisa Maxwell’s 27-year-old daughter Beau Jessup has died.

The tragic news was confirmed by Columbia Journalism School in New York, where Jessup was studying.

“We extend our deepest condolences to her family, friends, classmates and all who knew and loved her,” reads the statement shared via the school’s website on November 9.

“The J-School is working with Beau’s family to offer support and assistance during this difficult time.”

The cause of death has not been revealed, and Maxwell has yet to make a public statement.

Jessup was expected to graduate from the school with a master’s degree in journalism in May 2027.

Along with the statement, the school shared an interview with Jessup from October.

“Last month, Columbia News reached out to Jessup as part of the Notebook series, which highlights some of the many fascinating students who study at the University,” the statement reads.

“With permission from her family and encouragement from leaders and her peers at the J-School, Columbia News decided to publish this insightful discussion in memory of her far-too-brief life and experience at Columbia and in New York City.”
