Damian Hurley is sharing some words of wisdom one year after the sudden death of his father Steve Bing.

The 19-year-old son of Elizabeth Hurley posted a moving message to fans on social media about dealing with grief. 

"A year ago today, my mother and I received some devastating news," he began on Instagram. "I didn’t realise at the time quite how much it would affect me... We all like to show ‘perfect’ versions of our lives- for me, the idea of publicly discussing something as personal as grief is terrifying... but sometimes it’s necessary."

"The last year has been bloody hard- for everyone on the planet- and I think acknowledging that is vital. It’s not weak to struggle. In fact, to get through to the other side is immensely strong. Thank you so much for all your messages today, I love you all," Damian concluded.
