Sarah Fisher, the partner of actor Anthony Head, has tragically passed away at the age of 61. The animal rights activist’s death came “with very little warning”, according to a heartrending statement from her daughters.
Living with the Ted Lasso star, Sarah was remembered by her actress daughters in an emotional social media tribute. Emily and Daisy jointly expressed their shock: “It is immensely shocking to us all, and came with very little warning.”
They continued: “No words could ever express all that she encompassed, or begin to describe the crater her absence has left. We know how profoundly she has impacted the lives of so many, and we couldn’t be more proud of the legacy she is leaving behind.”
The grieving daughters added: “We only wish she’d had more time to share her knowledge and brilliance with us, and the world. Our grief knows no bounds, nor did the reaches of her incredibly unique and irreplaceable spirit.”
At this point, no additional details have been released. Both of Sarah and Anthony’s daughters are actresses, reports the Mirror.
Emily, aged 37, is best recognised for her role as Carli in The Inbetweeners, while Daisy, 34, has appeared in Guilt, Harlots and The Syndicate.

Tributes for Sarah have been flooding in, including from Battersea Cats and Dogs Home in London, where she had worked over the years. The organisation shared some heartfelt words on Thursday.
In a heartfelt statement, they expressed: “We’re truly sorry to lose our beloved friend and Ambassador Sarah Fisher and send our deepest sympathies to Sarah’s partner Anthony, her daughters, and her family and friends.
“Sarah, alongside her partner Anthony Head, gave so much to our charity, fostering dogs, using her canine behaviour expertise to train our staff and volunteers, and contributing in so many ways to make a real difference in animal welfare.
“She will be dearly missed by all of us at Battersea.”
The founder of Holly Hedge Animal Sanctuary in Somerset, Pauline Leeson, also paid tribute. Sarah, who served as the organisation’s patron, was fondly remembered by Pauline.
She stated: “Sarah was an advocate for all animals and was always a voice for those dear souls who have no voice. She will be a huge loss to the animal kingdom she worked so tirelessly for, helping so very many animals of all species to find their way to cope and be happy in this changing world.
“We at Holly Hedge are so proud to have known Sarah. Her memory will live on in all the good work and positive change she has made to their lives. Our hearts go out to Anthony, Emily, Daisy and family.”
