Slash has been in a relationship with Lucy-Bleu Knight's mom, Meegan Hodges, since 2015.
Slash's late stepdaughter Lucy-Bleu Knight shared a heartfelt message before her sudden passing on Friday, July 19.
The 25-year-old posted a selfie on Instagram and expressed her regret over making other people feel inferior, though the upload appeared to be pre-scheduled, as it wasn't posted until Monday, July 22.

Slash's stepdaughter Lucy-Bleu Knight died at age 25 on Friday, July 19.
"Whether I made you feel excluded, manipulated/ controlled you, told you to quit your day job from the comfort of being financially supported by my parents, or drowned real issues in toxic positivity — I am sorry," she captioned the photograph.
"Countless missed opportunities and connections due to a disgustingly big ego, insecure heart and fear of being vulnerable," she continued. "May my soul learn to evolve from my poor job at being Lucy-Bleu. Peace🌷."
