A resurfaced video has left supporters heartbroken, showing Charlie Kirk embracing his young daughter on live television just weeks before his shocking assassination in Utah.
Father’s Joy on Set
The clip, filmed on the set of Fox & Friends Weekend, captured Kirk’s 3-year-old daughter walking across the studio floor before breaking into a run toward her father. Sitting on the couch as a guest host for the first time, Kirk’s face lit up with a wide smile as he scooped her into his arms.
was a rare glimpse into the family life Kirk and his wife, Erika Kirk, carefully kept private. While both shared their faith and work openly, they often shielded their children from public view. The Fox segment became one of the few times audiences saw Kirk in his most personal role, as a doting dad.
From Studio to Tragedy
That moment feels painfully different now. On Wednesday, Kirk, 31, was shot in the neck during his American Comeback Tour event at Utah Valley University. He was conducting his “prove me wrong” segment and answering a question about mass shootings just seconds before he was shot, sending students running for cover. Despite being rushed to the hospital, he was pronounced dead two and a half hours later.
