Ethan Browne, the son of renowned musician Jackson Browne, has passed away at the age of 52.

The actor, known for his role in “Raising Helen,” was discovered unresponsive in his residence on Tuesday morning, as detailed in a Facebook post by his father, Jackson, who is 77 years old.

“With profound sadness, we announce that Ethan Browne, beloved son of Jackson Browne and Phyllis Major, was found unresponsive and has died on the morning of November 25, 2025,” the statement conveyed.

The family has requested privacy to grieve during this challenging time, and no additional information is available at present.

Representatives for Jackson Browne have not yet replied to Page Six’s request for further comment.

The famed singer-songwriter welcomed Ethan with Phyllis Major in 1973. The pair tied the knot in 1975.

Jackson’s marriage to Major eventually ended in 1976 when she tragically died by suicide at age 30.

In 2021, Jackson reflected on Major’s death in an interview with Route Magazine, saying his son became his “main focus” afterward.

“I only had two things that I hoped I could fit together: being a songwriter and a father,” he said. “And I looked at it like this, if I have to only be a father, I hope I’ll know it, and just do that. “

Ethan grew up to make a career for himself as an actor and model.

As a child, he appeared alongside his famous dad on the cover of Rolling Stone in 1974 — when he was just six months old.

He went on to star alongside Angelina Jolie in 1995’s “Hackers.” In 2004, he starred in the Kate Hudson film “Raising Helen.”

He also made an appearance in a single episode of the “Batman” spinoff series “Birds of Prey” on The WB in 2002.

As a model, he appeared in campaigns for designers like Isaac Mizrahi, according to producer Mark Ronson’s memoir, “Night People,” per People.
