"Thank you to everyone for all your messages ?? I will try to get back to you as soon as I can ❤️ Richie underwent major emergency heart surgery. He is stable & resting ? If you know him, you know how tough & strong he is. So tough that he finished the show & kept the hair flips coming. There’s no one like him. We’d be lost without him ? #HotDad"
