AceShowbiz - "The Real Housewives of New York City" star, Erin Lichy, is grappling with the recent death of her father, Eliahu Yitzhari. Lichy, 37, revealed the heart-wrenching news in a profound Instagram post on October 1, just hours before the premiere of "RHONY" season 15.

Her emotional post featured a series of cherished family photos, from childhood memories to moments shared with her own children, leaving her followers and co-stars deeply moved.

In her heartfelt tribute, Lichy wrote, "My heart and soul. My best friend, my courage, my strength, my superpower. How grateful I feel to have had you as a parent to guide me, to uplift me, to teach me how to live life to the absolute fullest. Your generosity is unmatched, and I have learned not only how many people you helped silently but what a lasting impression your kindness left."

Erin's message offered a glimpse into the profound bond she shared with her father, reflecting on his last days and his unwavering devotion to his family. She recalled his poignant words, "Without Love, Nothing is Worth Living For," which moved her deeply.

"Your soul is pure. A genuine, happy, loving energy and you gave us 5 a piece of that.
